Chris, let me say this, we have no problem making the 850# wt, the car weighs either 675, or 725, depends on the scales and where they set them up, I believe the 675 myself, and Kyle is heavier than he looks, so the 850 is no problem, we only have maybe 5 or 6, that will weigh in at or below the 800 wt, the majority have no problem making 850 and plenty more. It really isn't a question of how much we weigh, if it's 850, that's what everyone has to weigh, minimum, and the average was 883, and the committee that decided the 850, were all car owners, but it went away, somehow. Chris, the 675 is with 2 gal of fuel in the tank, we usually only use 1.5 gal in a feature, so that keeps us safe when the race is over. BTW, did you find a way you could get DOWN to 800lbs? Bob!
