AHFS changes after Phoenix and Houston

While you guys are buying ballast from Bass Pro Shops, check out the moss on some of their displays. We supply all the BPS. If you could please send me a picture so I can see what they are doing with it. There are no BPS within 50 miles of me. Thanks

I bought the bag of shot from Cabelas and after awhile the bag torn and the shot started rolling all over the place. Also had a car hit the wall at Speedworld years ago and the shot was all over the track. It was hell to clean up.

Jeff, in drag racing you are supposed to drive in a straight line; it's not a Demolition Derby!

I tape them up with a couple payers of duct tape. Had no problems.

I hope you guys are putting those bags of shot in weight boxes and not just in the spare tire area or under the seat! I've seen racers thown out for it.

I was working the track when the racers car crashed and I did the clean up. Come to find out the shot was in lower rear quarter panel pocket in trunk area. Wasn't seen in tech or added after tech. It was a super street car using ballast for ET reduction on 10.90 index

I have seen a car "leaking" lead shot from the rear quarter area before! Mr Ed I needed a couple hundred pounds so I figured I better get the 50# bars!

If your not putting it in the weight box, but building weight bars, it is easier to pour shot in the tubing than to melt lead bars in. Plumbing supply stores have lead bars, and round one lb. "pucks". I use square, or rectangular tubing for weight bars. I Tig weld plates on the ends. Weld one on, pour in the shot, weld the cap on the other end.
