Very nice. Look forward to more videos of track times.
Do you have an estimate for how much has been taken off? Were you weighing parts?

My weighing trick is there is a local truck scale that leaves the scale and LED readout sign on all the time, even when the station is closed. I find a day when it's closed and use it as a self service scale :woot:

lol weight reduction, the truck stock barely weighs more than a paper weight. better put some wings and a rudder on it pezi or a stiff breeze will have you tumbling.

Yeah! LOL my camera died as I was working on it, though. So it'll be easy enough to show how to get it back on, but I don't have any pictures for the teardown.
