I always put down a fast before I race and use my lightest clothing...
Dress pants
A light material jersey
Canvas shoes
No socks
Jockey shorts (not boxers)
No belt
No watch or chain

4 bolts vs 1 clip? could even just hold the sprayer and empty it.kamakazi wrote:I can't fathom a back seat weighing 120. 20-50 maybe but not 120. I'm sure the seat is easier to move than those 5 gal bottles of water.

I have a car that I could probably lend for the shootout. A 1.6 Auto Baleno that I should have probably used for the last two events instead of starting fresh in SS.

I wasn't going to enter it on the day either, I was going to run the swift then go pick it up to bring back for the shootout.
pete wrote:I don't see how. If the car cannot be allowed because I've driven it before on the street and it's a stock car does that mean that the shootout car should not be a type of car that has ever been driven by any of the people in the shootout? It worked out great last year with the sonic as it was new on the market but how practical is that this year?
I only really offered it because she doesn't drive it any more, I'll be putting it up for sale soon and I know the shootout won't do any damage and I know how hard it is to get vehicles for the shootout. Definitely wasn't to get an advantage if I take part in the shootout.
