We've got to weigh 3000 for the normal ODR races around here, some of the special events have no weight mininum.

Did that 270lbs ballast put you at your 3k race weight?

With 270 in ballast it weighs 3016 with a full tank of fuel, 54.2# on the nose, 55.1% on the nose with zero ballast, most of its in the middle of the car.
