Why the 2650! I already have ballast in my car and don't feel good with adding more in that area.!!

I'm with austin on the weight, after getting it down I'd hate to be adding it back...are cars having trouble getting to 2600? I see most bolting in ballast.

6. Add weight??????????

7. No need to change this rule. Starters are a dime a dozen. Check with local rebuild shop and salvage yards.

8. NO NEW RULES These are the types of things that will lead to the end of this class.

9. No need to add weight if we are taking it out of the windshield. I'm 50/50 on this one. But would prefer to see NO NEW RULES

10. This is one that actually makes sense. If added be sure to include a thickness spec to material so it does not become ballast. I still prefer "NO NEW RULES"

I would concur that 2600 pounds car and driver is the right number. I'm 260 pounds and my car and I meet the weight requirement.

Although would the additional 50 pounds make it easier for new guys coming into the division to not feel like they have to get the car as stripped to still make competitive weight?

Heck, if we make it 2650, I'm having a Double Whopper with Cheese for lunch instead of my Lean Cuisine....(j/k)

On the Windshield, I could care less about the weight aspect of the Lexan, I'M JUST TIRED OF CHANGING WINDSHIELDS.....brand new windshield after two races already has two small chips. I could have installed a Lexan (with little or no appreciable weight difference) for the price I'll have in yet another windshield for next year.
