That one tenth hurts doesn't it? :-D

Go out to Capital this weekend. Pull everything out of the car, back seat...passenger seat. See if someone will let you borrow some skinnies. I think you can easily do it by shedding weight, instead of adding new parts.

What about skinnies? Do you know anyone with some you can borrow? Pull the sway bar. Pull the engine cover. Pull the strut tower brace. Windshield washer holds like a gallon...a gallon of water is 6 pounds. Make sure you are close to dead empty at the track. Ride on a milk crate!!!

How about 1/4 tank of fuel, pull front sway bar. If you cant get any skinnies put 45-50 psi in the front tires.

If u get there early you can get a few in before the racing starts. The autos are easy to get down the track.

How much do you weigh? Dehydrate, sweat suit up and hop on an exercise bike, mayb cut 10+lbs depending on how big you are in a week... Not trying to call you fat btw, just think its a way to cut down total race wieght
