George,

Since I'm taking the Mustang back to BMR under Mister Sutton's guidance... for some final tweaking -- and picking up the Miata I just acquired from Mister Hobaugh... (Don't ask because I don't know - but it's street days are history if I keep it).... I will be there! Kill all kinds of birds with this trip!! LOL

Bob,
I plan to run the Camaro at the Fontana event.

[rustomatic]

I'm pretty sure my car does not weigh 3200 pounds or more--this seems a bit Camaro-biased. As a result, I signed up for the lightweight group, whatever it was called, even though my car is from 1963. Really, I don't care who I'll be running with as a group, but seriously, are they going to be weighing cars at the event to permit accurate levels of competition, or are the assignations of groups more to make people feel more evenly spaced (read: competitive)?

Will I wind up being the one geezermobile grouped in with all of the Evos and whatever else might fit in that group, or will I simply benefit from a shorter line? Oops, did I give up a bit of strategery?

It doesn't take much to scale a car -- and I know RideTech is a sponsor and they have portable scales... so I would EXPECT to be weighed to verify.

I know at Laguna and Portland last year they only scaled the winners in each class....so you'll be fine

I'm sure we'll be the only Mopar running again, she's a big girl at close to 4k lbs. Looking forward to seeing some trucks and the falcons running....also hoping Maier has found a seat for the event.....

See y'all in a few weeks

two years back

My falcon was 3132# according to the SCCA scales at the Crows Landing tour event. I'm going to add about 70# of ballast so I can run with my people. It use to be a tick over 3000# before the 255 17s and the roll bar.

Yup, we weigh 'em!

Thank you for the official word--I'll stay put in GTL, and if it turns out that I'm way more obese than I realize (possible, with the beer I've been drinking), I'll happily take a bumping to another class. That's cool.
