I don't blame you abit. Stripper cars are fun when racing only. Other than that it's boring. I like my options and full weight. Just make more power!

I'm sure when I go out to the meet I'll be removing the easy stuff. Like passenger seat. That's like 65lbs right there.

LOL, not me. Full weight. I even added weight with the babyseats in the back! lol. It's just not that important to me. If I lose, no big deal, it's still fun!

Passenger seat and skinnies will give you a car length or two in a race... pretty noticeable imo. Ask vic for sure, but I think thats about right.

Every 100lbs is about equal to a tenth in ET and/or one car length.

Right, but skinnies are less rolling resistance and rotational weight. It skews that rule more so than just dead weight in the car.
