RAG?
by the way i run 10s every weekend at the track and yet to get a cage but i will soon enough for my own safety
oh yeah my truck isnt a dedicated track ride
removing weight doesnt make your truck a RAG!! you do it right you wont have any problems, yeah it can be costly but thats part of keeping it from being a RAG !!!

Thanks for the info about your truck's state of safety and dedication. I'll keep it on file if I ever give a ****.
I don't know what track you run at in the bustling metropolis of P.A. Texas. But HRP isn't going to let you. You don't need to run a cage at Sealy either. It's not a NHRA sanctioned track.

I'm with SKEET on the weight reduction thing. You just run better for the mods you have. I'd rather say "I run mid 11's on a stock bottom end 6.0 N/A" than to be the guy that says "I run mid 11's on a 408 stroker N/A". Its not a poor mans way of going fast, its going fast more efficiently. Plus, less weight means less stress on all your drivetrain parts.

If you add up time and effort it takes to cut weight. Plus keeping everything looking as stock as possible, without rattles, its a fkn p.i.t.a. And I don't like fiberglass body parts. I'd rather save up for a month or so and buy some new heads, run a bigger shot of dope, or w/e is your bottleneck. Then again, I could give a rat's *** about 1/4 mi times too. RWHP and powercurves are the only things I worry about.
Some people need to get a waterproof keyboard. Its my opinion. Disagree, cool. I like having a discussion. But don't cry. I associate weight reduction with ricers who holesaw their bumpers and **** like that. Not saying any of you guys do that. I've never seen the inside of Skeet's truck. I've seen some vids of his truck tearing up the track. It probably isn't a rag. I'm saying the majority of people who do reduce weight are highschool kids that do hack jobs on their buddies' rides. And it usually turns out to be a **** job.

11.49 is the limit with out a cage. I don't know where Skeet is racing but, I don't know where theres a track that you can get away with 10's and no cage. If I break 13's with out a helmet I'm getting waved in and a stern warning...
