While we are talking about added weight, I would like to know wheather the
weight should be added as close to the center as possible for a low polar
moment (as do roadracers and others that need to turn quickly). Or since we are
trying to go in a straight line should the weight be added near the ends for a
higher moment?

responses to my questions. Next question,
how much weight is generally used to increase traction for a 3400lb car? I
know it will vary from car to car but are we talking 200lbs, 300lbs,
500lbs? How is it attached and in the event of a rollover aren't you
concerned about it coming loose or adding to the overall damage caused by
the effects of the added weight in motion? This discussion is really
helping me plan things. Scott
