    Default Tour car weighing

    Is it still the procedure at National events to weigh the 2nd driver and car?

    You can try to make a street car into an autocrosser or you can do a lot less work and make a race car into a great autocrosser

    Default Sat vs. Sun...

    Mark,

    The usual procedure (90% of the time) is that all drivers are weighed on Sat with just those in the trophies being weighed on Sun. On Sat, everyone is usually (again, 90% of the time) directed to the scales right after their final run.

    There have been deviations from the above, so do not count on anything stated. Just plan to keep you and your co-driver above min at all times; it's way easier that way!

    Take care,

    I was working impound at Nats this year, we pulled a few "random" vehicles after their second runs to make sure they were playing fair......

    When I was still driving the Citation in CMod my co-driver and I had an easy to remove 15 lb piece of ballast. It took about 10 seconds to place it and about 5 seconds to remove it.

    No one had to run at a disadvantage.

    Unsecured ballast = bad idea.
