How did you guys do in the race?
And how much weight was dropped by chopping the roof?

We wound up 6th this year. We lost most of our time when we had to finish removing the rear bumper that a couple of the other cars decided they wanted to run into.
We honestly haven't weighed the car before or after the roof removal, and haven't weighed the roof itself after we removed it. It wasn't enough weight to make the car fast, that's for sure.

Re: My Stafford Springs pics
you were still in the top 10 all weekend though! that's nothing to scoff at!
Re: My Stafford Springs pics
As the Space Monkeys exemplified, it doesn't take a "fast" car to place well (especially at Stafford).

So far, still the same engine / trans / etc. This was the third race for it (Stafford last year, Summit Point and Stafford this year). We are thinking seriously about heading to Florida too.

see, someone has their priorities straight
Re: My Stafford Springs pics
Nice result! I'm hoping to do the Florida race too in the cheetah volvo wagon. I think the stock engine has over 200k miles and 60-70hr race time on it and it still felt very strong for a non-turbo B230F.
