Watch the weight!

When Kenny Bernstien broke the 300mph barrier in March 1982 he claimed that they figured the car needed to lose 20 lbs to get to that speed.  Dale Armstrong told him it would cost about $10,000 to take that weight out of the car, so instead, Kenny went on a diet and a month later lost the 20lbs.  The next event he went 300+ mph in the 1/4 mile.

Easiest way for me to lose 160# off my car would be this method.

 

Hell, in AbuDhabi they use trained monkeys now at the camel races... Maybe. Could train a monkey to drive. Nobody would notice while learning in SoCal...
