My vert weighed 3600 with 1/2 tank of gas at Maple Grove. 3810 with my fat ass in the car, do the math. I weighed it several times to make sure and it is accurate.

My vert is different than many on here...so not many can go off of my weight...but here it is:

Well, took it to the flight line and had it weighed in at the "Hush-House"....a long story for how this name was derived.... Those who have served in the Air Force will know this term.

Well, cleaned out the entire car to what I would be running at the track. Okay, so there were a few extras for my trip to Patuxent, MD.


Then drove her up on the scale.


Well, here is the official weight with 3/4 gas and without me in the ride (170lbs).

3,720 + 170 = 3,890lbs.

The weight above was the weight I ran with on my 11.3 pass at Cecil cause I accidentally left the lever on lock when I was getting gas prior to hitting the track....argh....

Does anyone know the approximate weight of fuel? I figure 6.5lbs per gallon....anyone know?

My car weighed 3580 lbs (Cecil) with some gas before the cage and 12 bolt, so I now estimate that it is almost 3700 lbs.
