| Now going back to trying to get light enough to run A nitrous in Vegas,after I get the B nitrious record.I have had the car as light as 2336 with 3 gal of fuel.Nitrous system with trans blanket is going to add about 40lbs.I have been hacking,cutting and will get there ,but its ounces at a time.Spent 8 hrs today and was happy with a 3lbs loss.So far I have removed 20Lbs off the car in the past couple weeks,then added 5lbs of aluminum.Working on drivers side and roof only.Wish I had a life other than this car.Guzzi Mark
