Yeah taking out all that weight increases performance considerably in straight line speed and cornering ability.

Yep! The way the floorpan was before, if I had the seat super low I would be way off center from the steering wheel, so that boxed it out to move the seat more towards the tunnel. I'm 6'5" and I can just barely see over the steering wheel. I'll post a picture later.

Here's a picture of seating position...

I originally mounted it on the lowest holes on the side mounts but I couldn't see over the dash... keep in mind I'm 6'5". In this one the seat was raised up 1.5" from the lowest setting.

Here's mine naked. Running MVP Tracktime at Road Atlanta last November.
Not competing anymore so all my stickers are gone and she's back to DD service.
I have a new Rick Engman engine in her and she's doing well. She may be seeing 3 events this year if she's lucky.
