Second, please don't remove your bumpers. Small bumps sometimes happen on the track and you would do major damage without them.

Good point Jim.

What about those pics!!

Is there a way to add a 90 degree and rout it out the normal locations?

Since weight up high is the enemy, I'm a little surprised nobody identifies a plexi rear window.
I don't see a sunroof in the photo, but that's a tough uninstall.
Battery easy and cheap (relatively)
Wheels and brakes -easy but expensive -absolutely
Remove AC hardware
CF hood-poor reviews on quality
Smaller, lighter driver (how much do you weigh, and how much do you want to lose?)
I thought the timed events are one-car-on-track. In my experience, if it's not wheel-to-wheel, any event that would be impacted by the presence of the bars is going to be costly anyway. You aren't going to run up someones bumper in this event. AS

a couple of thoughts for the one lap.
keep the A/C (my car did not have A/C and it goes a loong way on driver confort when your in the car for Days at a time.)
The bumpers are less important on the one lap track events - any shunt you have is going to be fairly big (remember Road America in the wet where 3 out of 7 cars per run group returned on the back of the towtruck & WGI first round) but more important for the transit stages.
my 2 cents
oh and you need a supercharger
