I read something years ago regarding making a car lighter that always stuck with me. It said "instead of looking for one place to eliminate 1000 pounds, find 1,000 items that weigh 1 pound and eliminate those." There are a lot of things on a car that aren't needed on a drag car, so if you find enough of those little items (window winders, wiper motors, dash brackets, dome lights, etc.) you can make a real difference in the overall weight. There are ALWAYS unnecessary parts you can remove if you look hard enough. (and putting the skinniest driver in there doesn't hurt either)
