How much does your legend weigh?
« on: December 31, 2007, 11:41:07 pm »
My legend is a 34 ford sedan, and weighs 1167 lbs.  No lead, that's just the car.  I think the last two drivers had so much success with this car because they weighed nothing.   ;D

Told ya I was skinny!

gramps05, are you by any chance as skinny as Steve?  I do envy those of you slim enough to add lead to come up to the 1300 mark.  Going to have to work on that next.  Might have to sew my mouth shut for this one!

Thanks,
Mike

My 34 coupe weighs in at 1157 with the old body and no lead. My dad's car (34 coupe) weighs in at 1145 with no lead and newer body and lots of body repairs. He still has the weight advantage at 165 pounds versus my 225.

Thanks for clearing that up Gramps.  I was starting to picture a wizened little old man dropping his walker to climb into the car.

elimn8u, at least you still have a weight advantage over me.  Smile!

What we're looking at so far is

34 Ford sedan:      1147   (My lead sled with fuel it's 1167)
34 Ford sedan:      1107   (RB - that just isn't fair)
34 Ford Sedan:     1151

34 Ford coupe:     1157
34 Ford coupe:     1145
34 Ford coupe:     1135
34 Ford coupe:     1101   (Go Frank, go!)

37 Dodge coupe:   1152

37 Chevy sedan:    1111
37 Chevy sedan:    1130
37 Chevy sedan:    1130
37 Chevy sedan:    1141

Surely there must be some others out there willing to list their weight.

Thanks for the info guys.

34 Ford Sedan and it came in at 1140 with 15lbs of lead.  They were not my scales so I am not sure how accurate it is.

Mike,
 I strap my walker on the left rear of the car to use as weight.

 ;) :D ;D

Somebody has been taking extra funny pills today. ;D

From the sounds of it you could strap an extra car to the fender and still come in under weight.  Y'all might want to starting eating a bit more!

I agree with Mike. Being the fattest guy at the track, I would like to impose a moratorium on skinny guys...Ive never seen so many 150 pound adult males in my life!
 ; ;D :D :) :-\ :( >:(

Well said.
I'm going to go eat a piece of cheesecake now.

Hey VMS,
What you doing to your car that you have it all apart?

I bought it mid-season last year and just figured since we have a seven #@%&^$% month long off season I might as well take it apart! I had been having some electrical problems (only in the garage, never at the track, luckily), so I figured since the body was off, I'd just go through everything, happily, nothing too ugly to report yet! I'll probably lose a pound of cobbled together wiring repairs and electrical tape, so save some cheesecake for me!
