I'm sure when I go out to the meet I'll be removing the easy stuff. Like passenger seat. That's like 65lbs right there.

Passenger seat and skinnies will give you a car length or two in a race... pretty noticeable imo. Ask vic for sure, but I think thats about right.

Every 100lbs is about equal to a tenth in ET and/or one car length.

Right, but skinnies are less rolling resistance and rotational weight. It skews that rule more so than just dead weight in the car.
