I ran my super-gas car in super-street for a few races because I let my license expire.
To make weight I put 300lbs of ballast in the back of the car. No problem running with a throttle stop because it was set to come on just off the line.
I took the car to Bakersfield to run a Good-Guys event and I had to take all of the electronics out of the car to be legal.
I wasn't thinking about the weight when I left the line with no throttle stop.
It seems that it carried the front wheels just off the ground for quite a ways, unfortunately I was headed toward the other lane. No problem, just steer it back into the groove, uh still going right maybe a little more steering input, just about in the other lane now, front wheels touch down, oh oh now it steers, heading straight for the wall, now the other lane, now wall again.
Used up both lanes but kept it off the wall.
Note for log book: move ballast weight to appropriate location.
