Ill let you know in about 2 weeks....
I just lost another 20lbs today on the car, that in addition to over 50 in other places Ive lost.....I could another 10 but I am not going to do it now, it was a 2 day event in itself, worth it, but right now I know I can loose 10 more, I just dont want to spend the time to do it at this moment, I can do it in the pits at Pomona if I care to....
We are going very very trim with our car, everything hits the scales.....and I mean everything, if a lighter piece is an option it gets made and gets it, if it dosent need it "by the rules" in the junk pile it goes. We went light on everything, at the potential sacrifice of reliability, its all relative anyway....Id rather have weight off....cheapest HP I can buy....
I spent the better part of 3 days with a heat gun and wood chilsel extraciting all the urethane body sealer and sound deadener, it getting a "wrap" because its lighter than repaint by some 20 lbs, weve got supposedly the lightest wheels on the market (and that even from some of their competitors) By god I have no idea where were at but were as light as we can be....
Well see when it hits the scales after its all back together, Ive been told by all the other DP owners/builders noone has made minimum weight.....I dont know that we will either, what I do know is well be the lightest of all the DP cars currently out there. Next comes the helium balooons
32 and some change is the lightest Ive heard btw.... so If thats on par, yeah I think we can hit 3095, with the other 10 out and some other "tricks" The only option beyond that is cutting on the car, and that I will not do.....
A half a pound here, there and 6 ouces here 4 ounces there, well all total Ive got over 25lbs in "ounces" on my weight spreadsheet.....pretty interesting when you add it all up.
