Why Would I do something dumb like that when steel weighs more than plastic,

I actually need a plastic tank now the person I thought would have one didnt,
So I went to another person and they are also out,

Oh shit wot do I do?

Its easier and cheaper to lighten the bike and it has much the same effect

Your comments show how little you know about bucket racing

Or possibly any sort of performance motorsport.

Man A bucket being so slow is were you want less weight,
The less weight is the cheapest way of power and speed without touching the engine,
Working the engine up is cool yes,

But ask yourself why?

You waste ALOT of time and money getting the engine worked up as much as you can, your happy, But then you put it back in a heavy frame defeats the porpuse really,

Thanks

To defeat a porpoise I suspect all you need is a simple ruse involving raw fish & a robust fishing net.
