I'd like to see the minimum weight changed to be another 50-75 lbs lighter... either that or the series needs to slow down a few other ST cars (Subies/Accord/TSX's). The problem is that to get down to that weight we'd need to go with some carbon fiber panels which aren't inexpensive.

Hey Guys,
Sorry for the wait on updates, we have been busy. So here is the most recent update, although we don't have any pictures:
1: Moved car over 3 feet inside the shop.
2: Placed brake booster and brake lines on the floor under the car.
3: Installed the hood support bar.
All in all, we think we are progressing nicely.
Rob has been changing our priorities around like you wouldn't believe
. After this weekend we should have some time to get down to business and make some progress on the car.
We didn't bake the car. The cage designer is Pete Gebhart, a former cage builder for several Nextel Cup teams.
SolarYellow510: We did the bed-liner in the car because it's durable and the weight is low, as well as good sound and heat suppression. We already took into account everything that would need to be mounted on the bed-liner and pre-drilled and protected the holes, so we don't have to do any extra work there.
Chkrd: We agree! The minimum weight was actually 2600 before SpeedSource went on their championship winning streak. Now that other cars are becoming competitive we also feel like it would be nice to get the 50 lbs back.

Adam, sounds like the car is coming along nicely!
Just playing guys! Hope testing goes well this weekend. Also, I'll be seeing ya'll next month at the Chin event, I'm gonna call Rob this week and set something up unless you take care of it first.
