I may be lite at 50 lbs each. That’s nuts. Those appear to be 4x10x1/2 sheets, so REALLY HEAVY. But hey, anything to save the $60 to rent the truck or have it delivered.

Since it was filmed in 1972 even the new footage is vintage now. Lots of good racing shots. On the 2001 AACA Founders Tour, we got to drive that track in it's 2001 configuration. We drove it in our high performance german sports sedan. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I agree that’s why I said my 50 lbs may be lite. As Matt said if they are 10x8 sheets they are probably closer to 75 lbs. But you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to know you are going to destroy that cars suspension system and other parts doing that. Plus you are possibly going to get hurt and hurt others.

We (son & I) recently brought home 40 sheets of 5/8 inch 4ft x 8ft from Home Depot to redo the newly rewired and R-30 insulated attached garage- You'd better bet we rented their truck - flat bed with drop sides- no sense trying to make trips with our rigs.
