There are two narratives to adding weight to a racer car:
  1. You add or remove weight to just change classes without caring about the effect on the suspension and percentage of rise.
  2. You add or remove weight to change classes, from specific locations, knowing how it will affect the suspension and percentage of rise.

As others stated, if you ever have an opportunity, scale the car and check the instant center and variations by placing weight for different classes at various locations and document your findings.

I acquired some large 4x8x.125 sheets of lead and I thought it could be converted to race weight. First and not legal thought was to fit it under the entire floor pan under the carpet. It's dead soft but maybe still deadly, especially if you chew on it.

You can fold it into blocks and then bolt it.
