Hey racers!

Last weekend I got the Pink Panther on a calibrated scale. The weight was over 100 lbs less than I guestimated... Shocked 1168lbs/530kg!!

How's the weight of your racecars?

With the current engine (2110ccm/129 cui) there's a weight/displacement ratio of 9.05 lbs/cui. Does anybody know the lbs/cui ratios of the single Gas-Classes according to the old NHRA rules?

All I know is that they changed these ratios several times. In 1974 the Pink Panther ran K/Gas (different engine/weight).

Saludos,
Ole
