"Cause he's going to take his rear seat out, dump some gas, not bring his girlfriend, put some higher octane, shave his head....anything to make his car lighter!
dont forget to remove:

the sparetire
shop manual
coffee thermos
old newspaper from last week
watch
extra CDs...other than duelling banjos (great race song!)
fuzzy dice
extra pair of sox
dont eat starting 2 days before race day...

that should be worth a better time on a rolling start!

Ha, I was actually thinking about getting some fuzzy dice for my new car as a goof. And I considered trying to find a gigantic aluminum wing spoiler like so many ricer cars (front wheel drive, mind you) have around here, but I just know even setting it on there for a picture, it would blow over and scratch the paint.

You may want to get rid of the exhaust. The factory set up is better. just cuz it sounds cool does not make it faster. By changing the intake and exhaust you may have lost power. Dyno the car and find out.

Yes, the Launch Meet would be a better time than a normal Socal Meet.

Alpinewhite,
Please do bring your friend's G35 coupe. The more the merrier. I am working on getting some 335s to attend as well. I'll see if I can fit in a Launch Meet in December. Most likely this Meet will be launches from a roll.
Vega,

I invited Jimmy who has a Dinan Supercharged 540i to come to the WheelPower meet and to the next launch meet:

Here are links to some videos of his Dinan Supercharged 540i in action:

Cool. Let's take this up over in the Meet and Greet forum. Don't want to hijack this thread too much. I'll create a Socal Launch thread tomorrow night.
