Per Section 11a, page 6 of the 2016 Super Stock Rules:
BALLAST.
Weight box permitted. Only 100 pounds removable ballast permitted, including box (two-box maximum with 50 pounds each). Must be attached to frame or crossmember with minimum of two 1/2-inch bolts. May not be attached to roll bar or cage. Additional ballast must be permanently attached to frame or crossmember; i.e., bolted with at least two 1/2-inch bolts per 100 pounds, with nut welded to bolt. See WEIGHT. See General Regulations 4:2.

I have seen cars and talked with racers who have been through tech at numerous National and Divisional events with weight boxes NOT attached to a frame member. They all told me it was never a problem. So I mounted mine in the corner of the trunk floor with a large plate on the bottom and six bolts holding it in place. Second or third divisional I attended I was told to read the rule book and change it before the next race.

I'm guilty of not having the latest rule book and now knowing that you can't bolt weight to roll bar. I know of one car that has it that way. Mmmmm
