Minimum weight?

[BobDixon]

I see minimum weights mentioned all over the rulebook but I can't seem to find how it is specified.

1. With or without driver? (probably class dependent) Having my big fat butt in the car would make a big difference :D

2. How much fuel in the tank when it is weighed, or does a car have to weigh it's minimum after the last run without refueling.

Thanks,
Bob

Weights are without driver.

And whatever's in the tank, full ..1/4 or empty.

Car weighing method IS class dependent.
Also, not all classes weigh cars.

For example;

Karts, F125, FJA, FJB are weighed with driver.
BMOD, CMOD, FMOD weigh with driver.
Prepared classes weigh without driver.

You need to read the rules for the class you are running to determine if min. weight includes driver or not.

Like Lindsay said, plus you have to make that weight after your last run without adding fuel. So, make sure you are enough overweigh to make weight after burning off a few pounds of fuel, and in the case of karts sweating off a few pounds of water.
It's considered OK to add fuel before your last run, but not after it!
