Question for LT1 Firebird racers
 

The guide says that a 1997 & '98 LT1 Formula with the WS6 Ram Air option falls at 8.41. This make it able to run AA/SA. I have never seen one in that class and was wondering why. Do you think it's because it is difficult to make the minimum weight of 2855 w/ driver or is there something else. Thanks for your input.

Don't see how you could get one that light legally with a driver.

It’s a possibility IF TWIGGY is in the driver seat ....

...and helium in the tires.

A/SA is pretty easy to get to the top of the class. The harder you want to work the close you can get to the class minimum.

and the more $ you're willing to spend.....

My ‘97 Firebird that I raced in A/FIA back around 2006 weighed 3050 with me in it. I did get some weight out if it to get that light. Wilwood Front disc brakes saved 45lbs.

It was a well built car and pretty light. I’m sure I could have gotten it to be lighter. It had stock seats and a weight box. Aftermarket seats, no weight box would save some weight. It had a full cage. Full carpeting. One 30-40lb battery.

I weigh around 150

The LT-1 HP rating is pretty high and your at a disadvantage in any class to some other cars.

They were way underrated when new but got hammered over the years.

Not many out there that run with the class competition

Depends on what day it is Tommy. Some days I itch more than others. LOL!!! The stars would have to align perfectly though.

When Woodro got his Firebird it was an H/SA to start out.
