I know we just added a new section for aero which I think is great. What about another forum for weight reduction? It seems there are posts ending up in General, Road Race, Autocross, etc. for weight reduction. It also seems like it is an area of great interest among many.

Just a thought.

I think it's worth having a forum. There is more to it than meets the eye. A simple list of what everything weighs works for the drag racers, but we need more than that. You can just remove stuff for a while, then you need to start replacing parts with lighter weight parts. The replacement part has to be lighter than the original, yet strong enough to get the job done. It can be made of a more expensive material though. So it can get involved from a materials and stress analysis point of view.
