I'd guess that the bed covers do good things for the aerodynamics.... but, I'm JUST GUESSING, of course!

Thanks for your thoughts!!!
No, putting the ballast all they way to the end of the bed will not help; it would affect the acceleration.

Regarding the use of the covers, the language used to be in the rulle book in the same fashion as the IHRA book. When the truck classes were added to the general Stock Eliminator population, it was not added.
