Then I'm making sure my old Tow Hooks are back on

Shake N Bake Rikki Bobby!

weighed the car today with 26 lbs of cool cuit cooler and me in the driver's seat without gear. 7 liters of reserve fuel in the tank. 2591 lbs. I think with helmet, hans, suit, cool shirt, traqmate, video camera will put me over 2600. now do i add a bit of ballast for safety, in case i use all the gas in the tank or throw up during the race?

I say you chance it. Life's a gamble after all!

Seriously, all that stuff will only put you right on the edge. If you burn too much fuel, will that put you under? You have the best shot at winning and to be disqualified for a pound or two would be a shame.

I have some extra weight I'd like to give away
