Shon, there is still a lot of weight left to pull, but it all costs money at this point...
Things like !ABS, !PB, K-member, Lightweight Brakes, manual rack over the looped stocker...
I am looking into getting suspension stuff soon since most of the suspension is still stock, if I can knock the 60' down and pull out a little more weight then I know it should be mine...
I know the air is not going to get any better but I am planning on doing LCA's and relo brackets within the next few weeks to see if that helps...
I am still researching torque arms, but not sure if it is needed yet...
let me find a calculator and see what the DA was during that run...

As stated before, I will help you out on the parts you need, just run a sticker for me 
and put me in your sig like you got frank's
LW brakes and Manual Rack would be killer weight reductions items but very expensive in my opinion....

Oh I plan on taking you up on that offer, Shon...
I just need to research and figure out what I am getting, and how much it will cost, then run the numbers by my race team treasurer, my wife...
I did a little digging on the weather...
at 7:51 there was a -200ish DA with a 11.5 MPH headwind
my first run was at 8:19
at 8:51: -340ish DA, 9.2 MPH headwind
my second run was at 9:06
my third run was at 9:45
at 9:51: -400ish DA, 5.8 MPH headwind
my last run was at 10:09

Awesome runs for boltons! If you can get that car to 60' in the 1.5's you'll run mid 11's. Believe me I raced against Steve Stumph with his bolton 11.90 Lt1 car here at No Problem. He consistantly cut low 1.5's but he also had relocation brackets or his car would wheelhop. Goodluck Clint

Damn, that eastern seaboard air is great this time of the year, great runs John!!
Weather permitting, I'm taking my crack at it for the first time this year. Hopefully I can hustle the car back together before saturday.

mine was 3150ish with a 240# driver. so the car was 2910. Just wondering where my weight was at since you do not have a K-member/A-arms and a few other things. I know the TA is heavier than stock and the Rear sway bar I used was heavier than stock but where else is my weight at.....

I am a little over 205# undressed, I would assume 210-215ish dressed and ready to race...
Oh Shon, do you still have my phone number? If so, please give me a call otherwise PM me with a good way to contact you. I wanted to talk about grabbing a part or 2 from you...
