Front axle ballast bar
« on: April 03, 2017, 01:52:23 PM »
Want to add some weight to front axle with ballast clamps and a couple 2 inch diameter steel bars (total of about 40 lb).  Has anyone had issue with tech inspection with set ups like this?
 
Looked at the NHRA rules regarding ballast.  Says it must be attached be permanently attached to the car’s structure and must not extend in front of or behind the rear of the car’s body.  Just wondered if that considered the axle "structure".....

Putting a ballast box on front of chassis or moving batt, etc is not an option.

Thanks.

absolutley no issues with hanging bar weight on the front axle, just cant use hose clamps and duct-tape to do it.
