Prepared cars are weighed without driver. There was an effort a few
years ago to add 180 pounds to the minimum weights in the rulebook and
weigh WITH driver, but it was defeated. (In my personal case, that
would have been a 30 pound penalty - since I only weigh 150!!! And,
yes, I DID write a letter) The only cars weighed with driver, I
believe, are some of the Mods.
