Thanks to everybody for the responses to this
question. Once again, you have all been a great
help, and I am modifying the construction of both
my Camaro and my roadster based on your
experience and comments.
Basically, I will start with no ballast at all,
then add it only if handling and traction
indicates a need, by adding minimum weight to the
four corners (inside the wheelbase) until I get
26%RF, 26%LF, 24%RR, 24%LR. I don't think I'll
have a traction problem at Bonneville, but if I
do, I will add weight proportionally to each
corner until the problem is solved.
The wheelbase info was helpful and interesting
too. I had been considering lengthening my
roadster frame, but now, I will try it as is and
not change anything unless it needs it.
Thanks all.
