does anyone have pics of how weights are installed on their drag car and how much weight if you don't mind telling.

 

If your talking about ballast up front, this is how I add weight to my car.




Its about a 140lbs total

I eat cheeseburgers to add weight.

 

+1

 

if i ate a lifetime of cheese burger i still wouldn't have enough weight, i am 120+

 

So many 10yr old boys drive hondas lol.

 

Dude seriously if your that light get into roadracing motorcycles you would kill it around the track simply on weight alone as for the balast weight for a car try to focus on not adding weight if you have to but moving weight around so its in the right area.

 

I think that is what the OP is looking to learn. How people are adding weight to their cars to balance it out and what methods they are using. Or atleast that is what I assumed he was looking for.

 

you can corner balance cars without using weights

 

will the corner balancing help dramatically because i was thinking of having it done over the winter.

 

if your profile is correct i bet you will never catch up to my age (always 3 years ahead) lol.

exactly.

 

This

 

I've seen people corner balance their cars by raising their suspension to compensate for different areas of the car. This is ideal for an all out drag car, but for someone like me that will still drive the car on the street this isn't ideal so a weight system would be much better unless the car is only out a very little bit.

 

corner balancing isn't just for drag cars... as a matter of fact, is more for road race cars.

 

yes but when you corner balance a drag car you try and shift as much weight to the front wheels as you can, with a auto x car you try to get even weight as you can an all four corners

 

You don't need to raise and lower car to shift weight.

Set your desired height and then mess with spring tension.
