Thank y'all for the very kind words. I really appreciate the feedback about the set up on the car. It's been a very tough road to get this car moving again. I do want to recognize the original builders of this car - Torelli Pro Cars in Lockport, NY and racer Tom Caruso. It was very well...
Right at 2,900 lbs. fully fueled but without the driver. I decided to purchase a nice set of Longacre digital corner weight scales and they are FANTASTIC. I still need to tune the corner weights a bit, but I was able to try them out and get a total weight.
