Not a safety rule ,per se, but the idea is so that one couldn't easily pull out a bunch of weight for qualifying, etc. ,as I recall.
I realize that Comp cars put weight in all over the place, hose clamps and all, but we are discussing a Stock Eliminator car here.


BALLAST
Weight box permitted. Only 100 pounds removable ballast permitted, including box (two-box maximum with 50 pounds each). Must be attached to frame or crossmember with minimum of two 1/2-inch bolts. May not be attached to roll bar or cage. Additional ballast must be permanently attached to frame or crossmember, i.e., bolted with at least two 1/2-inch bolts per 100 pounds, with nut welded to bolt. See WEIGHT. See General Regulations 4:2.
