After watching a pal spin and then load the car back up onto the trailer
immediately thereafter, I equipped my roadster for ballast. The local purveyor
wanted $2+ per pound for lead. I checked ebay and bought 100# for $67, plus $20
for shipping. I could not imagine how the guy could send 100# of anything from
Lousiana to Boston for $20, but he did by using two USPS Priority Mail boxes at
$9 something for 50# each box.
It was fun watching the mailman deliver it, too!
I guess when mailtrucks are full they're still light.
I'm waiting for another 250# via the mail, due this week. BJ
