Default how to lower raceweight? colonel???

after seeing the times and raceweights I need to lose some weight, so far:

removed spare tire and jack
removed front swaybar

colonel's car is VERY light!
what else?
when I add a roll cage I will remove the back seat

how about the insulation under the carpet? weight?
what else is everyone removing?

what is the lightest seats available? thinking about selling my stock leather seats to get race seats if there is a gig enough weight loss.

too bad I weigh in at 250! rather pull stuff from the car than diet! haha
