5. Body Modifications
R. Removal of weight, per 100 pounds (0-50lbs = 0-pts, 51-150lbs = 4-pts, 151-250 = 8-pts, etc.)
I have pulled my AC, spare tire and a few little things, how do I measure my weight loss? Is a guesstimate ok, or do I need to weigh my car?
Ideally, weigh the car. With the '87 911, you can usually remove
a bunch, and still be okay. Of course, YMMV, and if you do well,
others will wonder...
I removed AC, interior stuff, muffler, driver's seat (Recaro instead),
and I'm still 40 lbs OVER curb weight. I still have power windows,
radio, heater white sidewall tires, etc. on my '79 911.
Do the directions mean that someone who loses 51lbs and one who loses 150lbs both get the same points?
Yes.
If it's "per 100lbs" why do the points start at 50lbs?
Consider it rounding or a grace zone.
I'm not worried about competition, just fun, and either JSS or JS class for my 87, I just don't want to irk anyone by being in the wrong class. I'm equally prepared to lose in either class.

get the actual weight measured during a corner balance, which should be routine if you are serious about competing
