Pulled up on the weighbridge & the bloke said , 'your car mate , bringing it in for scrap'
, good job i knew him.
Anyhow , the Pit weighs 1860 kilos , around 4100 lbs , that's with no driver & 1/4 tank of fuel.
Not a bad guess.

Car=4,092 lb's
1/4 tank (18 US Gall tank ?) 3.76 gallons @ 6lb a gallon = 22.5 lbs
Driver = 200lb's
Total 4,314 lb's
Thats a lot of mass to get rollin and keep it goin into the 11's

Adam Here is another bit of kit to bolt on
Now that they're affordable, the use of a wide-band oxygen sensor seems the easier approach to check air/fuel ratios. The Innovate LM1 is reputed to be the world's first fully digital air/fuel ratio meter and is capable of capturing and storing up to 44 minutes of air/fuel ratio data, which can be downloaded to a personal computer
