The BITW Metro weighed in 6.21lbs lighter after the race than before, according to their score. That's probably pushing the limits of the Glen's measuring system.

I had spoke with Bob Gillespie after your post. I don't understand how a car scale that has been certified for +/- 1Pound can give show a 0.21 Lb accuracy? Were you running the scale if so then we meet since I drove the car and saw it being weighed. I saw the weight of the car before annd after the event 1972Lbs (before event) and 1966Lbs (after event) sooooo the Lbs of fuel=6Lbs not 6.21Lbs
