how to deduce rotation weight
This coming yeari have to add 100 pounds because if a quick change. So in what ways can i reduce the rotateing weight or anything else to make up for the 100 pounds extra.

Carbon driveshaft, LW Hubs, Oil hubs, reduce tire diameters, run LW QC gears, reduce the weight of the shafts and main gears in the QC, reduce the weight of the gears in your transmission, run your car on a chassis DYno to align the drivetrain to max acceleration, get some lubricants that reduce the drag on your engine, trans and rear, reduce the drag on the front of the engine by working on eliminating high drag fan, water pump and belts, maximize the acceleration rate of your distributor and carb by having it matched to the burn rate of your fuel. Use titanium wheel studs and aluminum lug nuts, as well as reducing the weight of your rotors and rotor fasteners.
Once you get thru that list you will have done most of the easy stuff, the rest of the list requires a lot more time and money, like reducing drag thru aerodynamic improvments, increasing downforce and take away drag with rear spoiler mods...

...run a 9 inch,..leave 100 lbs off,..an its less rotating weight than QC...
-
the car is a good car just looking at ways to reduce and keep the quick change
-
Look at other forms of racing, Karts, Legends, ministocks... When the top teams are running small shaved tires there is a reason. The moment of inertia of an object is weight X diameter squared.. Cutting a tire may not remove much diameter but it also removes weight, NOW run the smallest diameter tires you can may remove an inch diameter which on a 45lb tire wheel combo will help alot.
You can also MORE than make up for the frictional losses in a quick change with gear selection. Also there is not as much bearing pre-load in a QC as there is in a 9 inch so the frictional loss it not as much as people believe.

Run the lightest wheels you can find. I wont say which ones they are but you can save a few pounds per wheel on some brands. Smaller tire diameter can save you about the same. So you can save around 6 pounds per wheel and tire.

Who has the best light weight parts to buy from just like some feed back. Like to buy from people that know what there talking bout thanks.
