** Weight Update #3 **

Spec Boxster minimum weight with driver and fuel is 2,650 lbs. My goal is to be able to manage the weight of the car by adjusting the fuel load at the start of a race so I am near the min weight at the end of a race (with some margin for error).

After one of the races at CFoS, I was sent to the scales for weighing. Total weight was 2,705 lbs with a 1/2 tank of gas. Subtracting 51 lbs for fuel (6 lbs/gallon x 8.5 gallons), says that the car/driver weighs 2,654 lbs.

In a perfect world, I'd like the car/driver total weight to be 2650 lbs with 1/8 tank of fuel, which means an un-fueled car/driver weight of 2650 - 13 = 2637 lbs.

Thus, I still need to reduce weight by 17 lbs.

To reach this goal, I have decided to lose another 10lbs myself (for a total of 30lbs lost by myself) and I need to find another 7 lbs to take out of the car to be at my minimum weight goal.
