Very well written list of advantages and of course my comparing to removing the ash tray and windshield wipers is mostly absurd but for some not.
If drag racing was the goal then not only secondaries would go but many many other unnecessary object with weight would too. Hell even the air filter goes. And as memory serves back in the 90s someone drilled holes all over the frame and front valence supports to lower weight.

It really is a mater of how extreme you want to go away from a well documented (FSM) car.
Removing secondaries is a completely legitimate decision to make once you've gone to the dark side
But so is keeping them in good working order and well exercised.
"but officer I was just exercising the secondaries"
