Default What is your race weight?

I have a NBS single cab that I am building. Just wondering what other people are getting these trucks down to, so if ya don't mind post your race weight and some of the weight reduction used to achieve this weight.

Thanks!

5000

Took out torsion bars and replaced with coilovers, took out ac compressor and condensor.

Added turbo stuff and exhaust, also add 14b axle and ladder rack.

Pretty sure I am much heavier than stock.

At that weight it wouldn't take much to make it a rocket as far as trucks go.

I'd love to get mine down to 5k... just don't see how that's going to be possible. I'd be happy with 5250 though.

I'm just throwing out a number...I really have no clue. Lol

I know I am only keeping the bare essentials. But it's also getting a 4-link, coil overs, 9"rear, and full cage.
Using thinner gauge chromolly on all components to try and keep weight down.

I'm at 4140 in street trim with me in it and 1/3 tank of gas....near 3900 area at track (just the truck, I'm around 185lbs).
I have Bumper replaced with roll pan, Bogarts\skinnys, 4link. I removed front sway bar but added one to the rear.

That would be good.

I had thought of getting a fiberglass front bumper, racing seat, fuel cell and a small racing battery. Maybe one day !
