We don't get the high test E85 in the north east until June .

Thanks! Looks like I need another gopro. 2 gopro Black editions and sync them via my iphone app would work well!

Stupid question- Did you have to add a source of light down there?

No extra light source. As long as your shooting during the day, there's enough ambient light usually for the new gopros. By the way, the camera in my footwell is a GoPro white. The only camera there that was the "black" was the one on the rollbar. The one on the window is also a gopro white.

Yes (23.l lbs). About .5lb heavier than my 11's and about the same as the 12's. The new CCW race versions aren't as light as the older version unfortunately.

Wow! That is pretty hefty. My 17x12 bogarts are under 18lb, but are paper thin.

Those CCW's look good though.

I think that Uyeda dropped a few pounds by just switching hardware. IIRC, he was using titanium hardware. I will have to find that old post.

They don't sell the Ti hardware any more. The lightweight option is Cadium (sp?).

I'm probably the only guy here that's not super focused on weight reduction. I'm a pretty heavy driver so I I wanted weight reduction I know where I'd start. If say my car is probably a good 150lbs heavier (with driver) than could theoretically be achieved with an intensely weight reduced BSP s2k.
