I just love that. Now take a Turbo car that changes to more. In any case at
1.05 my car would need to weigh 3150 lbs. Then you need to add 50% for the
Turbo. Talk about a lot of ballast. That's why I am running E/Mod.

As far as the national Solo rules are concerned minimum weight is based
on a pounds per cc formula that I think varies somewhat by class catagory
like stock, street prepared, prepared, modified. For E/Prepared the
formula is 1.05 lbs/cc, so if your running the L-18 in a 510, minimum
weight is 1860 lbs. An L-16 powered car could be lighter, but the 1860 is
VERY difficult to get down to, even with extensive use of fiberglas body
panels and Lexan window replacement, so most of us use the L-18.
Wheel to wheel (Prod/IT/GT) may use published manufactuer's figures
instead.
FWIW,
Ron
