You wont have to worry about weight reduction because 300-400 pounds wont make a HUGE difference. It could mean .01 on a race track but not on the streets. On the streets, you will need learn how to launch correctly to win. (Unless you go from a roll.
are you kidding me? .01??? i forgot how exact it is, but i read somewhere that every additional 90 pounds is about 1/10th of a second. Ok, I just looked it up, roughly every 100lbs is about 1/10th of a second. that's almost half a second. that's someone more than a car length in front of you.
