Back in the 1960's one of the biggest cheaters in the drag race business was Dave Strickler ("Ol' Reliable"). One of his close competitors ran a 421 Pontiac with an acid-dipped body to lighten it up, and a front end made of aluminum so thin that leaning against a fender would dent it. That car was about 300 pounds lighter than an equivalent street model of the same vehicle!
