Forms of Waste - STATIC WEIGHT
Copyright © 2007 Kaizen Motorsports. All Rights Reserved.
Static Weight is defined as non-reciprocating and non-rotating mass within a vehicle system. This mass is then assumed to only be accelerated in a linear direction.
Examples where this may occur:
Engine block, cylinder heads, intake or exhaust manifolds, body panels, sound deadening materials, electric motors, heater cores, etc.....

Consider This
It is obvious that the less massive a vehicle is, the faster it is able to accelerate. However, in many forms of racing the weight of the vehicle must meet a minimum weight for its specific class. Nonetheless, it is always advantageous to control where the mass is concentrated in the vehicle. This allows more control over the handling characteristics of the vehicle.Also remember, the most massive single object in any racecar is usually the driver. If you have an iron engine block, then this may not be true. But the driver would then be the second most massive object in the vehicle. It is cheaper and healthier to drop twenty pounds from your waistline rather than from your car. ENGINE COMPONENTS
