I was hoping for a free lunch, but, it appears that the free lunch comes with a threat of death via roll cage.
FFAUST: You are correct. I may have to buy a Trailer.
Mooty: Do you trailer the car or drive it to the track?

whlie trailering is a hassle, but once you trailered, you wont go back.

And while it is a bit more of a hassle than driving to and from, it is infinitely less of hassle should a mishap or mechanical happen at the track, as mooty alluded to.
The other advantage is that, once you start trailering, you can get more aggressive alignments without the risk of cording the inside edge of your tires by driving down the highway in a straight line.
It's also quite a bit nicer to drive home in the tow vehicle, instead of in the stripper, after a day or weekend at the track. You know, AC, cup holders, decent sound levels, nice tunes, day-dreaming or just reflecting back on the day's events.
$5000 will get you a nice used 900-lbs Trailex![thumbsup](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/bigok.gif)
You're welcome

For those of you with Strippers, can you quantify the effect of weight loss on lap times? Assume a stock, 3200 LB 996 GT3 turns a 2:00 lap. What kind of lap time can you expect from a 2800 LB 996 GT3, assuming identical tires? I think the rule of thumb is about one second for every 100 LB weight loss, but your input is appreciated.
