Was in the process of getting the 4G cars up to the 25G minimum for Bear creek which in these cases was adding 3 & 4 grams. I admit I was grumbling about having to add the
weight but I was surprised by the result. It actually helped on one of the cars, the quicker and faster of the 2 why???
MPH was identical on the best passes between the before and after but the ET was slightly quicker. I believe the difference was because the 60' time was slightly quicker as the extra weight must have gave a little more traction which resulted in a better ET. The other car dropped off slightly in the ET department while MPH was almost the same. The different body style may have been the reason for this as I was able to put the weight in the area I wanted it on the quicker car.
By the way I used the as suggested poster putty to add the weight. It sticks to the body pretty good and you can form it to fit. I also comes out easily after the race.
