Ballast
Just wondering what kind of ballast do people put into their race cars in order to meet the minimum weights? And where do you purchase the ballast? I would think something heavy but compact in size (such as lead) would be ideal.

Re: Ballast
One of the easiest ways is to weld a plate with to the floor with a threaded rod (larger diameter) to it, then buy weight lifting weights of the appropriate amount needed and use a large washer with a nylock self locing nut or equivalent to secure the whole unit down. Some people even melt down wheel weights and use those as plates as well....many ways to do it...
