To light for you racer boy, SCCA Stuck it to me good. Options

[Joe Ricard]

So I got the red neck racer wieghed today. Good news.... 1905 pounds I was so happy to have just made LAST years limit.

So all of you know they screwed my by making Street Modified 2 seat (SM-2) mid engine cars minimum wieght is now 2100 pounds.

Help me with a recipe to gain pounds but make me faster.

I have fiberglass front bumper. Stock passenger seat, 16lb Sparco drivers seat. no tar on the floor, no engine sound deadening, no back pad just some carpet. PC680 Odessy battery, soon to have Tangerine Header. My wheels tip in at 19 lbs each with 20 lb Hoosiers.

I think a cage is in order as it will put on the pounds and stiffen up the chasis. Whats a autopower cage weigh? Sounds Like I will be needing more power to and maybe better brakes. Stock ones were great in a light car.

I know somebody sell me a big six that'll do it.

I think official weights vary depending upon whom is looking it up.

but I know PCA recognizes that all 914/4's were factory weight of 2139

I'm sure that some early cars were less and some late cars more. But they took this number directly from the factory tech book.

I would think SCCA would use a factory published number like this also. I'm very surprised if they claim 1950, but I also am no scca expert
