Twenty-six pounds?  Our chassis team was getting the vapors when ours came in at 16. They were shooting for 12 or 14. It's our first custom-welded frame, made from 4-inch square 6061 T6 tubing. It has LOTS of speed holes, which concerns me because there is nothing left to drill out at the last minute.
