I hit about 65mph in that auto-x... They may not be SO important, but it still makes a differance, every little bit counts? I think I'll keep taking it off, but I'll LEAVE it outside the car, instead of in the hatch like I normally do at the next event

Want more pics? Let me share somethings while I'm at it.

Here's a nice little oversteering drift, not too violent, still fast, and fun!

A little bit more fun?
(That's the timing equipment, where the green bucket is, normally a throttle oversteering slide would be slow, but it's the FASTER way to go through a very tight turn, when you don't have to accelerate afterwards. You go through the turn in a smaller amount of time, although you won't be going AS FAST at the exit.)

Leaning hard, AGAIN!

Nice shot?

PS: Trying to tell you, I'm not worried about saving 5lbs, or 10lbs. Heck I lost over 25lbs from this time last year, when I started mountain biking again! I had a nearly full tank of gas, about 28psi in each tire when they were HOT , all sorts of other things in the car that I didn't remove. Even the roof was in the hatch (but off the roof)! I auto-x my car exactly with the set-up I drive it on the street.

But now I'm with the big boys that may change, as they even shave before a run, and not eat anything for 20 days!
