Very nice runs, hope that puts the flamming to rest. I'm a big fan of weight reduction too, im outfitted with a rear seat delete, corbeau seats, ac delete, tubular front suspension etc etc, the roll bar added some weight back in but once all the heavy interior is out of hte car it makes a bit of a difference.

Congrats! Pre and post summer is a great time at Atco. Wait until it gets cold and dry and you'll be even faster. More and more the rear seat delete and some better seats are moving up on my mods list. I think in a few pay checks that will be next. What seats do you have? Can you post any pics? I've been trying to find a good time to go run my car our of curiosity. Plan on going back anytime soon?

In Atco, Nj. 1000 Jackson Rd, Atco, NJ 08004 see how far it'd be for you. I still want to get a bunch of people together and rent the track out after summer. A few years ago it was 2000 for the day, 20-25 people and that is a great price for a day full of runs.

i picked up almost 2mph by just taking out my rear seats and passenger seat, an the factory package stereo crap. out it all back in of course. Switching to corbeus alone i imagine shaved off 30 pounds in seat weight between the 2 seats if not more. i cant do the no back seat though...everytime i remove it is when someone needs or wants a dam ride.

Nice ET's and Traps!
Next you'll have to work on the reaction times. Long pauses on the videos between green bulb and rollout. Giving up 0.3-0.4 seconds on the tree is giving away a lot of performance in a heads up race.

50-60lbs off the front with a tubular K would be a nice upgrade for my car

A lot of guys don't realize how quick and easy it is to remove the passenger seat and the rear seat bottom. I used to remove the rear seat backs also, but it takes 3 times more time than all the rest and doesn't drop much additional weight (even that little bit is over the rear tires as well). The 30 minutes it takes me to get under the car and remove the front sway bar is worth it in my opinion though.

I saw a question regarding shift points... do you know what rpms you were making each of the shifts at?
