Ya know, you've brought up a good point and one that VERY few Racers know about. I doubt that many Techs even know this.

4:2 Ballast
Maximum amount of removable AND/OR permanent ballast, unless otherwise stated under Class Requirements, is 500 pounds.

I've had discussions with a few Racers over the years, mainly Fox body FFFFord racers who have told me that they have more weight than that to get to legal wt.
(I'm not picking on Fox body FFFFord combos, just trying to make a point)

When you race a FWD combo this gets to be an issue in a hurry!
