The car had some lead bolted to the frame looks to be about 80 pds?, has 2 batteries 50 pds?, has tri city launcher springs, I believe when I switched our wagon to cal-tracs and mono's we saved at least 50 pds?, plus has all the air grabber stuff on hood yet 20pds?. So I think I can get there. I want to redo the cage so it fits better also. What does chrome moly save you on a 6 point type cage? My main concern is making the car hook with all the weight out of back. This year with the springs and shocks that were in it I always had the car 50 pds heavy to make hook. Was always a balncing act between jump and spin and monster wheelstand like 20 pds between good-spin-and "HOLY S**T" hoping cal-tracs fix that! I want 3 foot wheelies not 8 foot wheelies

Looks like about a 30% weight savings. Here's a couple of threads to check out.

That's funny, but I don't need to be converted, I just need more money....thus why I haven't really tried to look yet...don't want to torture myself by looking when the funds aren't yet there... a nice thought though....

Thanks to whoever originally posted these photos, because the cars are bad to the bone!!!

The car Mike Smith and I partnered on in the mid 90's. I wanted to add this earlier, didn't know how. I still don't know how to get it to show full size, as opposed to an attached thumbnail. Oh well.

THAT is a pretty car, wonder where it will be racing in 2013??

I know this isn't a stocker but did run it in S/ST till the Challenger came about... Converted it to a "Pro" car and racing it almost weekly... Still a great ride...
