Exactly!

Again, never gave it a thought, just SOP...?
I've been running SFI flexplate since it became a rule way back when.
Have always balanced according to what was needed building a motor.
Also recall having to drill the converter bolt holes to fit the converter bolts?

I can't remember anyone at any time crawling under a car to check if it was even there. Much less if it had any extra holes...

Always ran cars fast enough to require one, so always had one.
I've never seen a flexplate fail like that, (and due to the reaction I don't think it has been a particular problem) although I once saw a stock one spit the balance weight off... that alone will get your attention.

It will be something a lot of people will have to deal with in the off season, not too big a pain really just something else to put on the to do list over the off season freshen up.
