Actually you can only have 50lbs max in two separate weight boxes totaling 100lbs in the stock class. See below:
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.

I think I’m good, I have two 50lb bars bolted across the trunk through the frame with two 1/2” grade 8 bolts each. I just received a new Cal-Trac weight box and it’s bolted to the frame with two 1/2” grade 8 bolts also. For the Cal-Trac box I have 45lbs of shot in 10 removable bags. That should get me enough adjustable weight for different track scales.

See you there, bring shorts?.hot hot!
