Not sure what the pic has to do with BEC weights???

Im aiming for around 430-450KG's. Rush with Hayabusa power.

You certainly win the prize for the most random thread / picture combo of the year

There's no way your car weighs that much either, more like 410/460lbs (or 460kgs total)

i hate computers how do they work?

So have you got a shot of the blonde from the front so we can see what she looks like?

yes its the wife do you really want to see !

bear in mind the front / rear axle weights are the total weight of the car pivoting on the no weighed suspension - so a proportion of the car is weighed twice.

Sheer quality.

I can see you have good taste (she's probably wasted on you though!)(only joking)

I wasn't at harewood on Sunday - first one I've missed this year. There were a couple of indys entered apparently so I'll be interested to see their time when the results get posted.

Cheers

so when i weighted my car with 2 scales from work (huge things for weighting the truck chassis at work) by putting them under the front then at the rear isnt as easy as just adding the results?

so my car maybe lighter than i first thought?

anyhow, i 'think' mine is 566Kg with 1/4 of fuel.

Mine weighted 924lbs/419.1kg with a full tank of fuel.

Mark, i got a 68.64 as my best run.
Kurt in the other indy didnt manage a full timed run as his RHS lower wishbone snapped under braking into farmhouse bend

just a visit to the gravel and no harm done

479 Kilos BTW with half a tank of fuel

Mighty fine wife you have there, but onto more important things. Mine weighs 490kg with full tank of fuel.

as long as the car is kept level adding the 2 weights does equal the total weight. it is only if you start tilting the car by lifting one end on the scales that the maths goes wrong..... It's all basic moments.....

(put rear wheels on blocks so they are the same height as the fronts on scales and then the other way round, or better still weigh both ends at once)

Chuffin hell, steady on with the picture size. I'm at work and it's estimating about 20 mins just to open this thread and see the pics.

the actual weight is 5540 kgs but who cares now!!!!!!

have you seen the size of her. The car just above is tiny compared to her (at the top)

does that seem heavy,maybe i got that wrong,when the tax comes i will go to a weighbridge ,i am going on manufactures

540 or 5540?!

i think theres a point somewhere(.0)

My Honda CBR1000F powered Striker has a dry weight of 398Kg.
