I noticed you have the car sitting on wheel stands while doing this (ride height) and the weight sled you added seems to be an inch or two from the driveshaft. Did you move the rear end through its range of motion (full droop) to confirm it doesn’t hit?
I’ll find out this weekend. Altho I also did a floor and diffusor (video soon on that). But people suggested that even with the weight I could see almost 2 seconds around VIR on tires alone. I’ll video the weekend and post results in an upcoming video.

Love your vids.
Hell love the ride man, good work
Really need to get myself one of those modular diffusers someday
Don't your series require ballast boxes to be inside the vehicle? It's a neat solution if not👍
I double and triple checked our orginization as well as class specific rules and it does not.
Do you have any good suggestions on where to get lead bricks like that for the most reasonable price?
