I remember a guy who ran a plain white Brogie in D7 S/ST back in the late 80's and early 90's. He made a huge rear bumper out of about 5" diameter round tubing, and rumor had it that it was completely lead filled. I can't remember if I saw him run that car after they bumped the min from 2500 lbs to 2800 lbs.

My car still doesn't have a chute or wheelie bars, so I could add those for some of the weight, but nowhere near the S/ST requirements!
