Why a diet?Originally posted by Wheelman33 View PostWhen it seems all eyes are on you when you're wearing a new pair of jeans you wonder why everyone thinks you look so darn good in them. When taking them off you notice the sticker still on the pant leg.Comment

Diet because car is right at weight with no lead. Driver is 205. If i can lose 10 pounds off the front i can move my battery forward and add lead to center of car.
I am new to mods....are all these cars this heavy? My shaw is a tick over 2500 with 15 gallons of fuelComment

Depending on the rules you are running. 2500# is minimum with USRA if you run an "open" aluminum head motor.Comment

yeah 2500 is heavy with no lead. theres at least 150lbs thats hiding somewhere. iron heads?Comment

Is that 2500 without driver??Comment

Dart lil M block? They are about 40pds heavier than a stock block. Look at the bumper and how its mounted to drop a couple pounds. Cheapest thing to do is to put the driver on a diet!!
But to answer the original question, yes alot of guys run the single rows on alky w/o issue. Just be sure to clean it every couple races.Comment
