Default Ultimate weight reduction!!!!

I was looking into !kidney, and removing some of my excess intestines. I heard they are like a mile long unraveled....surely we can cut them down a few feet. I have also never had my tonsels removed, so I figure they could be good for a pound or so.

JK, my car is down to 3280 RW, and I was joking with my buddies about what else I could do

My old man always bets on the horse that takes a dump before the race. He's lighter and he's got to be feeling better.

Dont eat any track nachos ( Nitro nachos) before you race if you " Shorten your intestines " .. You'll end up with the ***** by the 1\8 mi.
Remember - shorter intestines = faster travel !!

Shave hair (all of it...nether regions as well as trimming eye lashes and ear hair too)
clip toenails and fingernails to the quick
exfoliate
buy a flame retardant suit and go Ranger underneath it
fill tires with helium instead of compressed air
drain one quart of engine oil, 2pts of trans fluid and 2 qts of gear lube (only if you have a 9") drain coolant and replace with water mixed with alcohol (weighs less)
trim excess wheel stud length (only keep enough to pass tech)
remove the insulation from wiring harness and cut out wires you dont need
remove all but one taillight bulb, and front headlights, keep only one front and rear for visibility purposes
drill your crossdrilled and slotted rotors some more

Maybe thats a little too much I'll stick with a half pack of exlax chewables, a coffee and a smoke as it gets the bowels emptied out quick!
