again I have to ask what do you mean by way too much.................if you mean you are losing the advantage of spending money on an alcohol system because of the weight penalty then its your choice to make!

A 150lb driver in a bailey with a gsxr1000 on gas will be tough to beat total weight probably close to the 900lbs rule and be totally competitive at the least cost
A 200lb driver no matter what will be around 950lbs and will either run alky and add 20lbs to the 970 weight or try and shave off as much as poss run gas and be around 930 ish...................
A 250lbs driver will be close to 1000lbs and do what ever he can to make more hp...............

What the rules do is discourage dad from spending 6 or 7 grand on a motor burning alki tuned up fit to burst and whipping the opposition every week because if hes smart he will realize he doesnt NEED TO!!!!!

that is until I show up over there with my bored ported polished stroked j&e 'd blackbird firebreather! ..........ah the good old days!!!
