Maybe it is just my drag race background wanting to get more weight on the rear.

I figured better rear bias would help out of the hole, accelerating out of a curve plus help more equally load the brakes/tires.

Yes, when I put weight in the back, after the axle line, the car would react slower but hook better. That 62# is worth 83# on the rear axle and -20# off the front .I created as spread sheet to calculate this for me.

In drag racing we could just adjust when we left the line to compensate for how the car reacted, slowness?.

Can't do that when driving a road course, so it looks like CG is getting the nod.

Thanks
