    did someone say lightweight????

    came across these pics on the trifive forum. kinda hard to believe someone would do this, esp. on a drag car????
    WTF?

    this thing must have been built by a father of one of our fellow R3Vers.

                Lol, buy 30000 ton car. Make it lightweight by drilling a ton of holes? Seems like there are easier ways to make that car lightweight... like not starting with that car?

                  surely the rules or sanctioning body wouldn't allow that?!?!! I know when I was racing, that sort of stuff was made clear in the rules......that you could NOT do hack stuff like that.

                          That seems pretty normal for 50's drag racing
