JA,
Thanks for the info. Can you please clarify the weight rule. You state that the car weights will be checked prior to time trials and feature. Does that mean the weight will not be checked after the race so my car could be less than 2900 after the race due to fuel burn off? I just want to be sure on this, we usally get weighed after the race.

Thanks,

Weight will not be checked per se, but if there's any serious weight loss (i.e. you took a Jenny Craig diet on the track), that's grounds for violation. I will have a set % of loss to help you guys address this issue.

Top 5 cars will be checked for mainly motor and suspension issues. Cars will be spot checked.

I hope this answers some questions...

Thanks,

Hey JA, so say I start the race at 2905, and end up about 2860 or so? I'll be ok?

The "official" percentage of burnoff will be 0.03%
