Contest Results - driving Frankn7

[slngsht]

A while back, I put on a thread for everyone to guess the weight of my car.

I believe the contest was for 1 lap in an autox for the person who has the closest guess on weight, and one that has the closest guess on weight distibution.

 

Some people guessed with just the car, others included my weight. I have measured both. This measurement was with approximately 5 gallons of fuel in the tank, as well as a small fire extinguisher and my helmet, gloves, and a couple of spanner wrenches in the car (forgot to take those out).

 

on with the data...

 

Car without me

LF: 435_____RF: 453

Maxda.....156lbs you must have been naked when weighing.....(:>)

[slngsht]

hmmm... good point. I *have* been watching my figure

 

But that's not right. I think with clothes on, I'm close to 190. Interesting...

[MHKflyer52]

Controversy or just blame it on the scales......

I demand a recount.

[BobDrye]

Have you counted the absentee ballots?

[slngsht]

... and the hanging chads.

That's the weight of two Se7ens! Are you packing a spare car? Did someone convince you to use those high tech lead filled frame tubes? Inquiring minds want to know.

not packing a spare car... just a couple of spare engines and a few spare contact patches

[Hank]

He is packing the power of 2-3 Se7ens so it only seems fair for him to add weight so the ratio stays the same.
