*** Weight Update (Last one!) ***

Min weight is 2,650 lbs. The goal is to finish the race with 1/8 of a tank (2.1 gal) and be at 2,660 lbs.

After Sunday's race, I drove the car onto the scales and got an unofficial total weight of 2,646 lbs with almost no fuel (the car was sputtering on the last lap of the race).

Adding 2.1 gals at 6.2 lbs/gal = 13 lbs + 2,646 lbs = 2,659lbs.

Looks like the weight is spot-on!

And yes, had I been officially weighed after the race, I would have been disqualified for being 4lbs underweight so I'll need to be sure not to run too low on fuel during a race or I could be underweight. Another lesson learned.
