I'm sure I'll have a 3 page list.

I think you'd surprise yourself.

I'd encourage you to visit a meet, if practical, and watch the judges as an Observer Judge. See what happens and how deductions are made. Learn from the different teams.

Top Flight cars do not have to be perfect. Not at all, but it's a common misconception.

Anyone know how much a stock 69 spring weighs?

I'm going to guess in the ball park of 75 pounds?

Steel spring for 1981 Corvette is 44 pounds.
