Well, time to kick off the new year with a general question regarding 
ballast.  I scanning the rule book I see that it only has to be bolted 
down, preferably to the frame and as low as possible is recommended. So 
what, if any, are general guidelines to screwing weight to the car 
frame? Som many bolts per pound? How many G's is it supposed to resist 
in an upset crash? Heck the motor is only generally screwed to the frame 
wih 4 bolts or so (2 front motor mounts and 2 for the trannyout back).

So what's the rule of thumb for size and number of ballast attachemnts?


Now, are the hotels accepting reservations yet?
