My TR6 at the last race (Production Festival at VIR) weighed 2213 with me in
the car 205#. It has a fiberglass bonnet and 4 fenders. I finished with7.5
gal of gas which should weigh 45#. If I put on the fiberglass trunk lid I
will shed 38#. So, without fuel, chunky driver and ballast my car should
weigh 1925#. SCCA required weight is 2190.

Weighed Rags (TR6) on calibrated grain scales (apparently much more
accurate than electronic) and came up with the following:

LF: 479 lbs      RF: 494
LR: 430 lbs      RR: 435
Total = 1837 lbs
(with no interior, no battery, no electrics, no bonnet, no driver, no 
fluids).
I figure the bias on the RHS to be due to the Webers.

Now if I can get the driver down 16 lbs to his fighting weight of 155, I may
have a chance of pulling the skin off a rice pudding.
