a lot of guys removed the tar, and then later wished they had not.
I think it depends alot on the weight of your cage and driver. A buddy of mine lost the chance to win the regional title this year in May when he was a couple gallons of fuel underweight and was selected for impound after the race. A shame as he is probably the fastest driver in our region. (Though the next fastest guy is darn fast as well, and is a deserving winner).
The approach I am taking in building my car is to wait until it is "complete", then weigh it and look for places to take things out if needed. I carry enough ballast on my own . . . :-)Leave a comment:

Some do, some don't. it's another potential failure point though. we'll fab up something with an inline blower to get air onto the bottom of the windshield for rainy days. shampoo works well as a defogger too :)Leave a comment:

Do most SE30's remove the heater core? I figured it was usually all the interior bits + tar and the AC unit, and maybe tar in the trunk too.Leave a comment:

unless they changed the rules - no, you can't.
Ballast has to be bolted to passenger side floor.
EDIT: leaving the tar and running the spare may do it.
As far as the battery, I think I recall seeing some of the spec guys actually looking for the heaviest tractor battery they could fit to add more weight to the rear . . .Leave a comment:

we'll probably leave some of the sound deadening you see there in as well as run a spare tire. the good thing with ballast is that you can place it where you want.Leave a comment:

However, if we are, it will give us a chance to place the ballasts where we want them anyways.Leave a comment:

Unless Kish is a really big guy, you probably want to leave a lot of that in there. Otherwise he is going to have to run ballast.Leave a comment:

Going through the rule book right now, soon as it comes back from the cage builder we will corner weight it and then start removing/adding items. For example, battery, heater core, blower, front door windows, etc.Leave a comment:

Will be following this. Will you be removing anything other than interior items? I know prep weight is lighter than stock(obv) but Im wondering what will and wont be necessary to remove.
