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.

**Grandpa** · 03-19-2014, 10:22 AM

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.

So when are these races happening?

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