Spare wheel in the trunck -- keep or remove?
Have you guys removed the spare wheel in the trunck to reduce weight, or kept it there for safety reasons? I still haven't removed mine but thinking to do so.

I guess a better question would be:
1) Do you have a problem with leaving your car on the highway?
2) Do you mind having AAA towing it on the crappie tow trucks?

Why would you ever take it out, unless if you were stripping it for some serious fun.
Light to light, the weight in the low rear will HELP. Haha. My car is FASTER out of the gate with a rear passenger. An LSD will fix that real quick (hehe).
Anyhow, I'd keep it as is. The setup as is is pretty minimal .

can't find any 1/4 mile track in SD, I think Carlsbad raceway is closed. Ling and I are planning to go to the next qualcomm racelegal event to improve our 1/8th mile time.
