the scale at Crandall had my car at 3,895 lbs.
The scale at Ennis saturday had it closer to 3,750 lbs.
That's a big difference Which one's right? The carseat was in the car both times.
Also, since this is the callout list, why don't the PA guys post their times and the N/A guys post up their times (edit) from Saturday night(edit) and go from there. I promise, NOBODY has a faster 13 sec timeslip than me

I don't know, what's the car, how is it equipped, non stock items, how much do you weigh?

2011 GT. Fully equipped (leather/power seat) standard shift, 19 in rims/tires all the way around.
I race the car in full street trim. I leave all the crap (includding car seat) in the car.
My car was the grabber blue with black rims out there Saturday night.

Untouched premium with any driver bigger than a dwarf, I don't think can be under 3800.

I've lost 15 lbs...but I still tip the scales at ~ 190.

So you, a car seat, and a helmet is ~210-215 lbs. Not buying the 3750 number from the Ennis scale. A base GT on 19" but otherwise unmodified wouldn't make that number. Sounds like the Crandall number is closer to me.

Should have done this before making the list.

The world's biggest DUH to that. Initial ranking should have been based on timeslips only - not rumor or theory or buddy system. If you'd never gotten a timeslip, then you wouldn't have been ranked. Seems pretty simple to me, but the board sure has gotten a lot of traffic over the drama.

Gas is ~6lbs per gallon if I remember plus how much windshield washer fluid did you have? These amounts could sway your weight 60 or more lbs
