What type of ballast are you using and how do you have it mounted?

I'm looking at options for mine, have a few ideas.
Nobody ever wants to discuss this LOL.


Absolutely! That's what we said coming home. Any day you can leave the track without breakage and you learn something is a good day.

I don't want to talk about ballast either! LOL! Mainly because we've been using one of the street tread 275 tires/cop wheel combos for quick, easy ballast. The plan was to weld in either some allthread or put in a weight box this last Winter and we just never got around to it. I mean, it was working, so....😄 Not exactly legal since it's not "attached" but they never tech inside the trunk since battery is up front.

We definitely want to have the ability to add more in case we want to do a couple of the small town street drags.
