Default Re: How light can you get?

Tried staying inside for a couple of weeks and noticed my tan had faded somewhat. I'm figuring with about a year staying indoors I can get as light as I'm going to get. Not sure but I believe that them folks up in Alaska go from tan to really light and then back again with them different months of light. Hope this clears up this post. I go outside as often as I can here in Florida, I do not want to be light, I've been weighting for summer. Can't weight much longer.

U/SA depends on how many ideas you come up with

68 Camaro 3040 race ready for F/CM with wheelie bar, single 16v turbo start battery, 3 sp. i could drop under the minimum (2975) with my lipo battery, the glide and no wheelie bars. i also have just bought a set of Aluminum body shocks i believe are lighter than the steel ones they will replace. The only way i could loose another 120 lbs off the race weight of the car would be to put my wife in it!




Make my straight jacket SFI 3.2A/5 certified!

The Sportsnationals is an NHRA race, I do not believe your crate motor car will get in.

Bobby Bender says you guys are featherweights ! This is as light as "Fat Girl "gets.
His rear axle weight is more than my Corvette weighs with me in it !!
The rear weight bias is something most Super class racers would die for!

You know, you can't help but worry about those Arkansas folks. I never heard that one.
