Electrathon of Tampa Bay is holding their next race Saturday December 8 in Plant City. Detail at http://electrathonoftampabay.org/www/.
We will have a level bed with scales at this Saturday`s race. Any and all teams are encouraged to come by and scale their car.
Corner weights are a measurement of how much of the weight of the car is supported by each tire on a flat surface in static conditions.
Corner weights are important in helping setting up your car for the best balance and optimum use of tires.
If you have a wheel lock (a method locking your steering in a straight ahead postion) that will help give the most accurate results. Weighting should be done in race condition with batteries and driver in the car.
We will have a sign up sheet where you can reserve a time. Please try and tell us when you will be coming by. Between races or after the last race are recommended times.

So what was the average weight of the cars with drivers?

I did not really get a feel for average weight. The only thing I do remember noticing was that the Jim Robinson built cars had impressively even weight balance left to right and the rear wheel carries a little more weight than each of the front wheels which matches with what we run to get a slightly loose car.
