Thanks Woody... It would help immensely... I never got a baseline weight on my car and my sanctioning body NASA has the car listed as 2,970 lbs wet curb weight, but everything I have seen lists the car at 1,388 kg or ranging from 3,010 to 3,060 lbs.
I have to get the correct OEM weight so I can verify my weight reduction for classing purposes. I might still be in TTD if my weight reduction points stay low..
I weighed my car yesterday for the first time since the roll cage was installed last year and the additional weight reduction was completed last week. My weight with full tank, driver and gear (what NASA requires) is 2,720 lbs. The last time I weighed the car was before the cage was installed and it weighed (1/3rd tank, no driver) 2,640 lbs.
This puts my car at (-170 lb driver / -130 lbs fuel / -10 lbs driving gear) at 2,410 lbs.
So I have to base the weight on 2,720 (driver, gear, full tank)...
