6 Min weight 2650
Mininum 2650lbs with driver

If we are moving to a 205 sized tire I would not recommend forcing the cars to be heavier.

7 Starters (no heavier than stock)
Aftermarket starters are allowed, but they may not weight more than XXlbs (stock early starter)

Not sure if this was even an issue.

8 Cut metal supports on hood
The sheet metal support frame on the under side of the hood that may be removed or modfied

Not sure why we'd want this...it makes the hood flimsier yet lighter.

9 Lexan Windshield
Lexan windshields are allowed with a minumum thickness of 3/16 inch.

I'm not against this as several people are having issues with cracked windshields - but the glare you get from lexan especially if at dawn or dusk will be impossible to see through.

10 Jack plates
Factory Jack points located on each rocker in the middle of the car may have plates of 4"x4" max per side to limit deformatinon of these points that can occuring during raising of the car.

this shouldn't be an issue...i had jack reinforce plates put in so that I could jack up the car much easier.

6: No - haven't heard good arguments to change.
7: No - stock starters are plentiful and I don't hear of frequent failures.
8: Neutral.
9: No - upkeep of Lexan would be more intensive and I believe Lexan would need to be replaced more often that the stock glass for safety.
10: Yes - safety for jacking.

I can't support #6... 2600lbs is an achievable number; it just takes some effort for late cars and/or larger drivers.

#7 is good.

#8 has me on the fence... I personally wouldn't mess with it, but I don't care if others do.

#9 is good as long as the weight is the same.

#10 is a good idea, but we need to also limit thickness, weight, and how many of them. We don't want these being used as ballast.
