How does that affect the weight transfer ? the reason i ask, i've just changed my trunk for a fibreglass one and it's taken 42# off.

We usually keep 50-100 lbs in the trunk (weight box) to help the car hook on marginal tracks. I didn't think we had 100 in the box, so when we opened it we took 75 out for the 9 sec pass. MIR had good traction that day, so it hooked well.

In NSS, we have to run on the 0.10 index, so we add/subtract weight from the box if we are in the middle of the bracket.

If your car hooks OK with the steel lid, removing 42 lbs shouldn't affect traction.

I don't think he will get a license as we plan to keep it in the 10's. He just wanted that 9 sec time slip to frame. The chassis was updated over the winter and will certify to 8.50's; we may have it certified (just to have it done) if it is convienent.
