JEB has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
I read with interest - and have been asked to point out:

If ballast is run it means all we will do all day is queue at the scales.
The only way for this to work would be to have scales in the pitlane (F1 style) and weigh cars during practice as well!

Do people want to sit in the scrutinnering queue for longer periods of time at every meeting?

The cars are weighed after each race anyway. Monoposto have shown that it can work in a club series.

In fact it should speed things up as all you will need to do is drive on and off the scales instead of getting out of the car for it to be weighed.

We will still have to get out of the car as its an 80kg allowance, rather than total weight.

All you need is some scales for the driver to stand on when he gets out!

No time lost at all.

I'll think you'll find out next year if you get to Zetecs Mr Kdad that you'll have more to extend your grey matter than this.

In actual fact what happens, of course, is that a driver is weighed, kit on, at his first race and the scrutes then note what min weight his car should be for the rest of the year.

The list is published to competitirs and if there's any protests they simply reweigh...

Hardly rocket science is it?

Explain to me whoever you are how having a weight allowance could wreck the formula?

I certainly hope so, I've been falling asleep for the last 5 pages....

Mind you, I've still son MKII to race in a 95 Swift next year. Seems like I could be a bit busy.

Still, should be worth the weight....haha.

PS Why does everyone take this forum so seriously?

well said spearce,Steve Burns post "2004 BRSCC FF1600 Championship" surely puts this to bed, it has been agreed to run the current Ford motor co ff1600 regs with no variation, we all (wether we like it or not) now know the regs nice and early for 2004 , those wanting weight changes have a full season to lobby and put their case forward

So the Combe and SFFC runners with alloy calipers will have to remove them then?
Thats bound to please them, especially with the SFFC only getting half a dozen entries or so.

JR, maybe just maybe its because of the spurious reg's that SFFC "only get half a dozen entries or so" ??????

Or maybe they are all too heavy....(too many jellied eels and shandies) and can't get in a car.

maybe it because it cost 190 quid. wish as much effort went into petitioning entry fees as it did this weight thing. i want more people to race whether their 60kg or 90kg

JR I think you will find that Combe forbid alloy calipers. As far as I can see, Steve Burns has made the issue amazingly clear, the regs remain the same as present at every circuit bar Brands (SFFC) and surely this forum should now be consigned to the history channel, unless there are some insomniacs who require night time entertainment to aid their sleep....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I think they should change the weight and I run a F3 car with 30 kgs of ballast in so It cant be that hard to put 10 kgs in, any one thought of running a bigger battery or even 2?

am I not correct in thinking that if the minimum weight rule is altered it has to be with the approval of Ford Motor Co? if this is the case, would this not have to implemented world wide?

Yeah, apparently they used to though and Brands copied them but Combe then dropped it. God knows why they were ever allowed and I would not be in favour of allowing them but, playing devil's advocate, if those who've had them on for few years are not likely to want to change and, unless theyt use the internet, nobody will likely ever tell them of the change anyway.
