Just back from the National Tour and ProSolo events in Atwater, CA. Aside from getting my butt kicked both weekends, I had fun and learned a lot. My wife took some time while I was working the course during the ProSolo and weighed the car. Here's the info....

LF 824 RF 843

LR 593 RR 529

The total weight is 2789, which compares well with the weigh in last summer at Bremerton (2792.) This makes the car's balance 59.8% front and 40.2% rear.

This is on KYB AGX struts, stock wheels and 205/45/16 Kuhmo Ecsta V700 tires. The fuel level was approximately 3/4 of a tank and no driver, spare or jack.

Being tired when I got home, I wasn't complete in my description.

My car is a 4-door 2.5RS. The car is "stock" as far as SCCA is concerned. This means that all non "wear" items must be stock. In particular, the only modifications I have made from the car that was delivered to me are struts (KYB AGX), tires (Kuhmo Ecsta V700's in 205/45/16 size), and brake pads. Cat back exhaust is legal, but I haven't made that mod yet.

A note on the corner weights... The scales were not completely level (which I think accounts for the cross weight) so the corner weights aren't completely accurate. The left-right and front-rear balance is accurate, as is the total weight.

I struggled with the differences between asphalt and concrete (usually racing on asphalt, but this event held on concrete) and found myself in 9th out of 15 for the National Tour event (first weekend) about 2.1 seconds behind the winner (Neon ACR.) I was the 4th and final 2.5RS entered. I made some adjustments to the car and finished better at the ProSolo. I finished 6th out of 12 (about 1.2 seconds behind the winner - 2.5RS) and was the third and final Subaru behind the double driven www.subrew.com car, which finished 1st and 3rd. I was only 0.228 seconds behind the winner on the left course (after red-lighting on my best run of the weekend) and really struggled on the right course. All in all, not too bad.
