Re: Weight reduction...

Nah, the last time I went to the track with all that in it was May and about 80-85 degrees out, I was running 13.5@105 with a 2.2 60', and didn't have the Rumbler yet.

The last time I went it was about 75 degrees, I took out all the stuff mentioned, had the Rumbler in and I bettered my time by .1 by improving my 60' to a 2.1. I know launching is everything, but I would have thought that with the Rumbler and weight reduction I would have at least been able to get a 13.4 with the same old 2.2.

I'll just have to wait for one of the 10 days out of the year in FL when it's REALLY cold to make it to the track again.
