Hey Art........ when I was driving the Bantam for Dave Ring, we had to add a bunch of weight...... Al made weight bars out of 2x4 tubing and we filled them with lead........ they were about 3 ft long and we bolted them along the bottom rails of the car....... you might be able to do the same thing if you have the room...... go from frame horn to frame horn...... and you might be able to stack them...... but use the right bolts...... NHRA are sticklers for that....... we melted the lead, but I would prefer lead shot to be able to adjust the weight.......
