Weights??

[Dirtkart90]

Hi, the track I run is adding weight classes and I need to add about 15lbs was thinking about adding to back of seat was wondering what some of you guys recommend on placement of weights? Thanks

In front of the seat on rhe Floorpan. It is a dead weight area. It acts as if you added the weight to yourself.

Where you place it would depend on your numbers on the scales. I would recommend it mounted low and to the seat though.

I'd rather not add it all to the back.
First places would be the thighs down low unless the driver lacks upper body mass, then I would come up to about the hips and add 1 5# on the back

If you already like your numbers and need to spread the weight out, mount half on either side of the seat right at the hips. I see the guys that run clone medium and heavy in a night do it all the time. Go qualify for medium (350) before going out for heavy (375) they put 12.5 pounds on either side of the seat. Take it off to run the medium race. Bolt them back on for the heavy race.
