Just weighed in at 3083 lbs fully fueled. So I'm under 3k with a empty tank (2965) so I can now use DOM 1.75x0.095" steel for the roll cage. However rules say I could also use DOM 1.5x0.12" or DOM 1.625x0.12". But based off of a simple calculation I believe the area of the steel is not only the smallest in the 1.75x0.095" which should be the lightest, but it's also the strongest based off of I(cm^4).

I still want a lighter flywheel and rotors but I'll still be away from 3k fully fueled by 31.5 lbs. I need to find that some where.

O forgot about a racing seat. Might get 10+ pounds there plus the drivers seatbelt minus the difference of a racing seatbelt.
