Well OK it was just very very slightly better than 55/45. :D

Measured on Jon's scales.
Total race weight ( slicks, half tank of fuel, plus me in the car) was 3890lbs.

Front - Rear weight was 54.9% - 45.1%

Side to side weight distribution is 50.8% Left and 49.2% Right. That was with me sitting in there weighing 180 lbs + weight of clothes and helmet. :read2:

Ade came around this morning and the Chally sounded absolutely superb, but judging by how the car just light's 'em up at every opportunity, he needs 275 drag radials on there....or some slicks! ;)
