For those of you that haven't seen my other post, yesterday I took the car down to Sebring for my annual weigh-in.

The car with the full body and a nearly full tank (10 gallons) of fuel came in at 1,407 pounds. I had filled the tank thinking I was going to take it out on the track for the drive around but I didn't. So it was 30 pounds heavier from the start.

Here it is on the scales. The guy is all bundled up because is was about 50 degrees and had about a 20 mph wind blowing all day. He said he remembered the car from last year.

My daughter came with me and took this one of me in the car...

I think she had a better time than me, she got to drive around the track at lunch time with Doug Waters (ein 6er) in his sweet -6. Last year she rode in the pace car with Steve (smg914). Here they are driving by...

I didn't have my car off the trailer 10 minutes before some guy was laying on the ground looking under the back end.

Paul, the car looks GREAT!!

question though, why are they only weighing one axle at time??

oh and 50 deg sounds almost tropical in these parts

This one was fast. He was the only 914 in the Red run group.

2 scales? Did they weigh each end seperately?

I don't know. They have always had 4 wheel scales in previous years.

I knew someone would say something about 50 being cold

Here he is just before the hairpin....

According to my math, with gas around 6-7 lbs/gal. = 60-70 lbs.
1,407 - 60 = 1,347 lbs. !!!!

Lookin' good Paul . Hope to see you at the next TBB

Another quick one. But he broke/stopped during the endro in the afternoon.

This one was for sale.

Do you know if the guy in the Orange car was John Poor?

There were only two other 914s race cars that I saw but I didn't get pictures of them.

Doug took about a zillion pictures that I'm sure he'll post. Here is another one of Doug's car...
