Did you take a pre-race dump? Looks like that's about all you would have needed.

could you take any weight out or get the 60' down at all? that's probably all you'd need.

any easy weight reduction you could do? 50-100# should get you there.

I had a local ask me the same thing and this was my answer.

Front bogarts
Remove front bumper core
Remove A/C
Remove CC
Tubular LCA's
Manual rack
Remove passenger seat
Kirkey seat
Roll pan
Remove the 300# of audio equipment that's currently installed
Reinstall the much lighter stock hood

The more extreme reduction would be an aluminum block, TH400 and 9".

Passenger seat on mine has all airbag sensors in it, leather, and has the damn seatbelt built into it. I'd say 45-50 pounds easy.. 4 bolts & a connector, it's out.

Maybe an option for you to help grab that .01 that's got you all worked up!

Bingo, i'd try that, snag the 6.9x and call it mission complete.

Also here's the clip from the weekend, would have looked much faster I think if was around .02 faster.
