How light can you get?

What kind of car and how light; just in case we have Top Stock at the Cajuns. Older cars here, I know what the new cars can do.

If I could get Metamucil to pay contingencies you would be surprised how light I could get.

We have an MD on staff, and he can help. He normally does hearts, but its close, and he can do it on a lift in a stacker.

Jeff , My 08 CJ is at 3650 lbs with me in it , If I take a seat out 45lbs , a battery another 40lbs , 50 lbs of ballast , if I got a aluminum block another 80 lbs.

Total 215 lbs off the 3650 = 3435lbs race ready with driver (265lbs) and aluminum block

3515 lbs with steel block

NHRA CC/SA 3650lbs

How light can those DP get ?

Depends on whether or not I can keep Keith out of McDonalds...

But, for now, let's call him 200 pounds..

And here is the weight for my car wet, OIl, Water and full Duel Cell, but without driver.

We do still have somewhere between 60 and 80 pounds we could lose if we had a real reason to do it. And maybe another 20, if I can get Keith back on his all veggy diet.
