      Since it's a drag race they could probably have replaced the steering wheel with a pair of vice grips, take a little getting used to, but should save a pound.

      That was a good read though.

      I will think of a better signature later.

      they could have just locked the column, removed the steering wheel and put a brick on the gas pedal.. 5 lb brick is lighter than most drivers.

      that would have also saved the the weight of the drivers seat, and drivers side floor pan... now we are in the 12s.. :P

      Should go down as it would cost less to repair if it is a wreck

      Keep gutting the interior till it looks like this:


      That's what my old '05 Aveo 5 used to look like before I got rid of it.
