I know reducing rotational weight is more critical than reducing static weight.
For example, if you reduced the weight of the drive train by 10g, 20g, ect, how much (if any) did your lap times change?
Generally what I try to do is set my car to the ROAR specs when it comes to weight. I use the same weight at club races so that way when I add wieght at a big race to comply, it doesn't mess up my setup.
