Guys minimum competition weight is the car's weight just as it comes off track.... so the car + whatever fuel is left, plus you in the car. When you come off track you can't weight less than 3118lbs. So 2840 w/ about 1/2 tank plus me w/ my stuff on = 240 = 3080 which means I need to run a full tank to make weight. Figure 8 gallons of fuel to top it off @ 6.6 lbs per gallon = 46.2 lbs = 3126.2. So I'll probably need to add some ballast back to give myself a margin of error. The car really needs to be 3120 w/ 1/2 tank of gas.
