Weight Transfer

01-18-2000, 07:56 PM

Holy cow! Time for that baby to start the slimfast diet. Seriously though, look for little bits of weight anywhere you can find them. Loose the spare & jack, run with minimum fuel, leave the CDs at home. You could also try to find a lighter battery. I've seen guys loose as much as 20# going to a smaller battery.

With a 3000 stall, you should be able to foot brake it pretty well. Like I said, pay attention to how far your staging up. Try to get there every time. I also learned a whole lot by standing right at the starting line and watching car after car leave the line. Pay attention to that last bulb and when you see them start to move. If you're racing at night, you may have to adjust your rhythm a little since the bulb brightness will appear earlier. Just stand at the fence and visualize when you'd leave and compare that to the cars leaving. Sounds a little silly, but it really helped me get a grasp on the tree.
