And that is/will be a problem for DP cars, hence were scabbing every bit of weight we can, noone I know of has made minimum weight with one yet.....its getting NOTHING thats not rule required. Were going to be as light as any but realisticly I have no idea where that will be, I scraped 20+lbs of urethane body sealer and sound deadening out, we are one of the few that did this, and on and on, everything gets weighed, and removed that isnt neccesary or required.
Its a tight squeeze, and I still dont see us hitting min weight without cutting on the car, and well thats something that isnt going to happen.
Im dying to get it on a scale. When its all together, I figure were 100 fat. But thats just a guess from other DP owner observations of what they weight vs what we are not running they are, 3lbs visors and brackets, 20 lb sound deadning, 1.2 lbs rad fan. 1.5 lb unused gauge electronics, 6.8 ounces front wheel center caps(pair) and on and on....The its time to swiss cheese added brackets, Ive got the lightest wheels on the market, we went 8 3/4 for the weight, and a 904 vs protrans for same reason.....itll be interesting, Id like to have a few to spare....well see

Normally,when you are substantially over the minimun weight for your class,you drop down.If you can't drop down from AA,you would be at a disadvantage racing another AA if you weren't at the minimum weight.
