I weight 230 with street clothes. I still have to add, my gear, fire system, nets, exhaust system, cooling suit, passenger seat and belts. The fuel tank was close to being empty. That leaves me 120 lbs for all the stuff I have to add. I'd like to come in just a tick over 2600 lbs with very little fuel. Isn't that the way its suppose to be done?
Ok what stuff do you need to add? 120lbs is alot of stuff. personal gear should be 10lbs at most. Fire system 10lbs and nets 2 lbs. Passeners seat.. heck alot of cars don't run them and cool suit usally puts cars over the 2600lbs min. I try to shoot for 2600lbs min on zero fuel no cool suit. I rarely run the cool suit during qualfying and we must make weight after qualifying. Also it is possible to run out of gas during a race and then be weighted and DQ'ed.
In any event I see 30lbs of gear not including pass seat. Not sure what you maean by exhaust though.
