This year as Jeff stated they finally put the SC version in the class but I still think its weighs too much. When I raced the elise in 07 I had to bolt 175 lbs in the car. Yeah thats fair. But the main problem with the car is, it can't take a hit at all. During the runoffs there is always some bumping and shoving and the elise, exige can't take it at all. You must make it to turn 1 first and never look back which is very hard to do. I wish you the best Jeff and if there is anything I can help with let me know. Just maybe if you have success I will have to bring mine back out. Later, Dennis
Well, the min weight for the sc exige is 2190 with driver/fluids. We haven't weighed the car yet but since i'm about 190lbs with suit on i think it will be tough to get the car under 2000lbs with the cage anyway. Remember that the stock exige is something like 70lbs heavier than the stock elise. I'll let you know when we get it on the scales. Thanks again for all your help Dennis.
