So i have a 2010 Bailey with a 08 gsxr 1000 and was wondering what car weighs without any lead on it and no fuel.. Has midget front end and 2" rear axle. Also this is a wing car. Was just curious as i will put on scale at track on practice day. I was guessing with a 200pd driver around 870-880.. But was actually hoping to be at 900 with 5 gallons of fuel.. J

Don't put so much importance on weight. Work on the basics, these things are soo powerful that a little extra weight is the secret>>>>>or so I have been Told.

A little bit extra weight will not hurt you near as much on the larger tracks as it will on the smaller ones if you want to weigh your car I have a set of scales just send me a text and maybe we can get together and weigh your car
