The 500 lbs is the total ("permanent" and removable) ballast max allowed, 100 lbs max removable. To be "permanent" it must be connected to the frame with bolts with the nuts welded to the bolts. I've wondered how much of a weld they expect to see here, I would like to use as little of a weld as possible so I can easily remove it later.
I remember a guy 20+ years ago who ran a Brogie roadster in Div 7 S/ST, he had a back bumper that was a huge lead-filled bar.
One thing which would be an issue which sort of helps resolve itself - if I added a bunch of ballast, I know I'd need wheelie bars, which would add more weight!
