corner weights are pretty important to getting equal cornering ability in
right vs left turns.  i remember borden was puzzled by getting 1.4 G's on
left turns and only 1.2 on right turns.  turned out the corner weights were
a little off.  and that loss of 0.2 G's in one direction is a really big
difference in times, especially when the course goes clockwise.

basically, you will really benefit from getting them right.  on a car
without adjustable ride height it isnt so easy to change it- you have to
move stuff around.

anyone want to split a set of scales with me?
