Default [pics] Pics of my new Drag Race Skinnies and my new Drag Race Seat :D :D

I just made my first pic of my latest parts for my GSC3...

As you can see. I started polishing one of the wheels (Drag Race Skinnies).. When I'm finished.. they should be in chrome like finish..




I will get some nice weight savings from those items :D :D

All I want is 60's with low humidity and I will be out there.. With a little luck - this could occur late October...

Well - the weight saving is less than that... I save around 5 lbs per wheel (29 instead of 34 lbs per wheel).. However - the effective weight gain (because it's centrifugal weight) should be about 40 - 50 lbs.. There's also less friction because of the smaller tire surface... I might be able to take .05 to .10 off my ET with those rims and the seat.. Now I just have to get the Aluminum Driveshaft...and I'm ready for 11's...

To make my welds fit, i put longer studs in and used a spacer.
