So, labor isn't my problem. But if the supports weigh only 20lbs a piece, then that means I will only shave a half tenth in the quarter mile. And it might not be worth the trouble. But if they weigh 40 lbs a piece, then that full tenth is PLENTY worth all this trouble. Can you give me a ballpark figure how much they weigh? I know they aren't 5 lbs. And I don't think they are over 50lbs. :) Thanks man. Oh yeah also, if ANYBODY has a ghetto mod I can do for the track, please post here no matter how dumb it may seem. :) I'm shooting to whoop my 14.83 record I did in NC. And this will be done at a track that's 3 tenths slower than the track in NC. :) : But then again, as big and strong as I am, nothing seems to weigh too much.... : Dont say anything Matt or James :wall: : You can try it, I dont think it would be worth the trouble unless you are trying to save weight all around and going on a huge diet for that one day Replys:
