What does your car weigh in at now, Andy? I'm at 3210 on my open setup. My backup car is still 3320. Where's my dremmel, I would like to take another half pound off this car.

Man! Now I know what you mean by Andy lightening his car. That boy has a dremel and ain't afraid to use it. He cuts things up!

How light can a DM-1 Spec be brought down too ?

We don't have any sort of onroad racing here, but I sure would like to have my DM-1 hot rodded as much as possible..........

Hey Pit, can't wait to see that PTM Alpha .23 run.

I won't be up your way until next month though. Getting ready to go race big cars for a couple weeks at Road Atlanta.

Search the DM1 thread, I think the post was made in 2009. The racer reduced a little over a pound in the weight of the car.

Dang, I'll go race with you as a pit/fueler/tire changer/gopher. Your Mazda's are awesome!
