Mark, nice to see/meet you at Rockfalls.
Kinda cool how you even paid attention to my rotors. They are the only light weight mod left from the IX RS I sold. I decided to use them for this event. Prior to yesterday, my best time was 11.20 or 11.1 at 123mph. Somehow the cold weather was working yesterday even with 30 psi in the hoosiers(couldn't find a gauge to borrow).
As for weight, I don't know the exact number. I remember getting on the scale at Brainerd and it was around 3000lbs. With full interior. Saturday night I decided to remove the seats and use a light weight race seat, remove bumper beam in front(rear already gone), remove condenser fan, strut bar and swap rotors. I'd say I took out almost 100lbs. Never expected anything better than 10.9x but somehow it kept getting quicker. At the same time trapping the fastest ever for me.
