    I suck, I'm going to miss yet another ER event! Just can't get out this Sunday.

    I'm going to try to make the BMWCCA event on Sat though and win another one for MME.

    Something wrong with your tires?

    C Stock should be interesting - General Default is gone, lugnutjon will be using at least one of my old V710s (since he corded a tire at the last event)... and my car should be noticeably faster, due to a lil' project I've been working on this week.

    Roll-bar removal would be my guess.

    I don't know if I'm brave enough to go without that yet...

    Honestly, I want to do some research on exactly what the a/c system weighs. If it's only going to save me 30 pounds, and a set of will save me 4 pounds per corner (or 16 pounds total), I may cough up for a set of expensive wheels and a lighter swaybar, drain the washer resevoir and suffer the extra 8 net pounds of keeping the a/c.

    The ultimate goal is to shave at least 100 pounds total out of the car and the driver in combination before next season. Pulling the bar has gotten me at least halfway there.

    I'd forgotten just how heavy that sucker is. Car feels a lot different... I'm looking forward to finding out how different on Sunday.
