Craig not Graig

I would love to see a 10 pass. More realistic goal is to need a rollbar in the truck.

A set of full slicks, and a set of 4.56's and you stand a chance.

Me, I want to see my car in the chassis shop before the end of the year, and with any luck, be ready for paint by next winter.

My goal is a race weight below 3000lbs and some 10.20-30's. Currently it is at 3220 with most of the light weight bolt-on mods and removable(by unbolting) weight. I'm hoping to get there without speedglass.

The majority is gonna come from pulling both cloth front seats and stock carpet(no padding) for a single race seat and light weight carpet. The rest is going to require a spot weld cutter and some cut off wheels. I am also going to swap my UMI steel tunnel mount TA for a Madman piece and possibly ditching my BMR drag bar for a lighter ARB.
