If you read Joeys report on the Parker 250, or you were racing the Parker 250, then you know something about the scales being brought to tech to weigh all the race cars. You also know that i refused to allow my car to be weighed. I will explain the reasons.
1. There is no weight limit in the rulebook, except if you look at the tubing size for the weight of the car.
2. The BITD UTV tech person is also an entrant in the class.
3. When i asked why my car was to be scaled, the answer i received was, for data collection purposes. Not a good reason, especially when the competition is the one taking the data.
4. The next answer i was given, was that BITD officials had the right to do it if they want and they also have the right to pull the motor out of the car if they want.
5. Only weight data was taken, there was no record of wether a car was a 4 seater, or a 2 seater, or had 1 spare tire, or 2 spare tires, or no spares. How large was the fuel cell, did it have fuel in it or not and if so how much, are there tools on the car and how much and how heavy are there or maybe there are none, was the a jack on the car, spare parts, etc etc.....
6. I also refused because i was made aware of the discussion on my next post.
