Lightening the Lightning (for drag strip racing)

[BlakeGJ]

I plan to go to the Friday night drags next month. I am looking for ideas for the best run! I should arrive with a 99-100% charge. ER XLT

I plan to remove only for the night:

• Tailgate
• Bed cover
• all mats
• rear seats
• running boards
• spare tire
• antenna
• Fold in mirrors

I can't think of any other easy weight removal/drag items.
I won't gut the interior and will have a passenger so front seats stay.
I will replace everything after the track night.

Double laxative night before races.

You might also remove the Frunk cooler well lid and the cover for the LVB.

If you’re really serious you can also remove the Frunk surround its self.

And the 2 oz. Frunk Beeper

I may remove the liner... The beeper was removed day 1!

I forgot the tow hitch.

If you are removing the antenna, you must be racing really light

Wind resistance. I also hate the antenna!

Have you baselined stock?

Have you baselined stock?

I haven't run it yet.

I think I'd get baseline and techniques worked out unless you've done these a lot before.

Air down the tires, then fill back after

Replacing the antenna was the first thing I did.

I did all my weight loss at pack level (Got a Pro)

Please keep us posted and good luck.
