weight placement
 
So... I have never been a fan of weight behind the rear axle centerline...
But what about weight above the axle C/L?
I prefer weight as low as possible but ?
Any thoughts pro/con?

If you search this forum, this subject has been discussed before.
Place the weight forward from the axle centerline.

Suppose I should ask.

Where is the extra weight in some of the station wagons that transfer really well? ;-)

I seem to remember there being a magazine article YEARS ago and I think that it involved Sheldon Gecker's S/G car. It was very informative.

Jack,
Isn't your wagon really a light weight race car, without all that Ballast??... LOL
