This is how I have managed to eat for the last 4 years.

He could wear a different pair of shoes and wear shorts instead of pants while driving and save more weight. Wow

Meh, if you have a mill then its only a couple minutes of work.  Taking pictures of it and posting on the internet as an accomplishment...that's another thing.

yeah but he's 2 grams faster. you know how much work he would have to do to run that 2 grams off.

he'd probably have to like spit in a cup or something super hard like that.

I could see doing this to a race car maybe, but that's a little ridiculous. 92 grams...

its like taking a hole punch to your air filter.
weight reduction plus if its hanging off the mirror that makes better visibility. (see through air freshener)

I was thinking he'd just stick a needle in his arm and bleed off a few pints before a race. That's 2-4 pounds he could save, with practically zero effort, up to 7 if he doesn't mind dizziness, nausia, tunnel vision, and...risk of death. :P
