You guys keep talking and I'm going to bump my boost up another 2 or 3 lbs and buys a new set of slicks. John, when you break 1:30 you old fart, I'll buy you a beer. By the way, I did break 1:30 on Saturday on my way used up set of Toyo's. Unfortunately it did not read out on the computer, only my lap timer. But I know I did it. Yeah, yeah, John, I can hear it now. Put a sail on the bumble bee and you may have a chance at 1:30 (you remember the screaming reach don't you?). Put a main sail on that thing and the wind direction is just about right down the front straight. When you need to jibe, well, that would be another story!

Steve, when I beat you at streets or BW, then I will really feel good! If would be better put!

Otto, by the way, the bill for that part including service fees, technical advice, etc, etc, is $478.39. Pay up! Just kidding. I thjought I taught you how to spin without messing up your car my first time out when you were my instructor. 3 runs, 3 spins, almost lost it on 2. I would have been out of the car on spin #2 saying find yourself another instructor. Flat spotting 3 tires, that hurts. By used race tires if you have the right size, way less painful!

Come on you guys, pony up for Thunderhill after Pahrump!

And last Kary, forget about the heat, the windshield, the tires. You will be out there next year.

Maybe, maybe not as I do not find WSIR much of a technical challenge to driver. It is just a big balls track with little reward for good technical driving......sorry!

John, just weighed in the other day with a 1/2 tank of fuel, 2879. I am sure you car is under 2000 lbs, come on John.....


Thats with you in it right Kary? If your car isnt under 2700, I will eat a bug. And as for John's car being under 2000, no way. I would guess his wet weight to be 2,200-2,300. So John, how close am I?

Well I hope you are hungry David because that weight is without me in the car. So which Bug would you like to eat and when can I witness it? :)

On the weight issue, I only took out the interior and sun roof and radio. Then I added a fairly heavy full cage back. I still have all other amenities in the car like heat and air conditioning. I do not fudge my points like many cars I see out there, but I can understand how you might think my car is lighter than it is given all the misclassifications and missed points on so many cars, particularly those RS America's.

David is spot on about my car. With gas, but without me, and with one seat, it's a little over 2300 lbs.

In that case, I feel most fortunate in having a car that is nearly as light at yours with zero done in the way of weight removal. You and Jad must be using the same lead wheels, because his carbon/kevlar 944-silhouette car weighs in somewhere near 2-tons! :lol:

And about the bug, I may have some trouble finding one down here in la jolla as the chamber voted down the presence of insects years ago.

The secret to weight reduction is to find just the right scale :D We had an old rusty scale in our bathroom that Amy just didn't want to get rid of as it read about 7 lbs too low. It made her happy! Kary has found a scale that makes him happy, so enjoy your bug (a VW bug maybe?)

Just kidding Kary. My car is similar to yours in weight loss with a few fiberglass pieces to help, but the gutted interior makes people think the cars weighs nothing, when in reality, gutting the interior saves a couple hundred pounds TOPS.

It would be really cool to have a set of scales at an event so we could weigh our cars and really find out how they all compare.

So when will you be eating that bug? Not sure you are as fortunate as you might think :)

John, You better keep that car of your away from the cookie jar as I clearly hear you say it weighs 2250 on Saturday.??? Or it is the brownies?

I'm out in the garage all day working on the car getting it ready for Laguna, because I go back to Idaho tomorrow and someone else will be taking the car to the track for me. Anyway, I've discovered a couple hundred lbs. of rubber in very large clumps all over the chassis. So, actually Kary, using your creative math, I probably weighed around the same as your car during the TT! :lol:
