Just ride with and without a passenger... then figure your gain will be a third of the difference.
150 lbs is heavy for a girl
and light for a normal guy
unless it's nimesh, who weighs "a buck and a half"

Well this year for Auto-x I will be removing my passenger seat and losing 20 lbs

That saves me 50lbs, plus I'll run with 1/4 tank of fuel.

Messing up the balance of the car will hurt more than losing the weight for an autox.

I think to make Nascar real interesting all the tracks should be figure 8's.

That would rock. I'd throw some loop-d-loops in there too.

or maybe those suicide train races - have you seen those?

2 cars chained together, and somehow wired so the guy in the front car steers, and the guy and the 2nd car works the throttle of the 1st car - figure 8 track.

Geez James. Not worth the trouble at the autocross. I've seen you drive You've alread got the wierd ass V710 sizes, anymore unbalancing you want to do on the car

You'll be able to feel 50lbs, whether if it'll make a difference .. eh. I've gotten my best times with a passanger, which either makes me drive better or balances the car. Not good enough for it to matter.
