Weighed my car today It's certainly no heavyweight, but it's not as light as I thought it was. I guess my fuel system and other little changes I made put more weight on the car than I thought.
Raceweight - 3120lbs. w/~7 gallons of fuel
The car by itself was 2940lbs. and I weigh ~180lbs. These are very accurate scales, but only read in 10lb. increments.
All I'll have to do for the Thunder Shootout will be to put the spare and jack in the car, and add a few more gallons of fuel!

Re: Weighed my car today I weighed my car on saturday and it was lighter than I thought <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
3375 with my 200 pound carcass in the drivers seat.
I have about 200 pounds I could take out easily if I desired hehehe <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
