My view ? Ive got none, I will just run what the rules say if they are fairly applied
My misunderstanding on the driver weight was it was an average applied, I failed to read the last line......it will be weighed with driver in. duh.....
Give me a weight with anything and will try as well as anyone to make it (assuming Im not 600lb overweight to start)......that Ill take to the bank, If I can do it on a bike I can and am doing it on a car....I WILL make the min weight with this car eventually I think, even if it involves things like alloy motor mounts (these things HAVE to weigh 20lbs +) as well as other things I can see already there is room for improvment. Weight is free power , power with the limits on Stock Eliminator I cant be too creative on the motor side. But the first step is to do as much as possible without banging deadlines to get the car tracking in the next couple weeks and then Pomona....besides....then I can put the weight where I want it. I mean come on , Roush used .075 steel for the heater delete ! dumb.....just dumb....Ive got to drill spots to get it out, but theres over 1 lb there that can be removed, even with legal steel in place, not to mention Im sure they used the same stuff on the trans tunnel and other places....
But if I can run fat and avoid getting HP added....yep Ill do it, if they change it Ill do what they change it to....Im pretty rule ambivilent. Ill take advantage of anything I can but Ill follow it all.

This should probably be a thread by itself.There was a discussion of this earlier in the year.My original thoughts were that it is unfair to the "heavy " drivers like me to penalize a car for being too heavy for a particular class.On the other hand,its not really fair for a car to run 1.2 under a new index and still be 2-3 hundred pounds over the minimum weight.What is your view on this?
