They are in the enclosed weight box. -
"Weight boxes (two maximum) made of
1/8-inch material may be constructed to hold small items such
as shot bags, lead bars, etc., as long as box and contents
do not weigh more than 100 pounds or as outlined in Class
Requirements. The box must be securely fastened to the frame
or crossmember with at least two 1/2-inch-diameter steel bolts"

Did not know how much or where you were putting the weight just hoping you have a smooth experience. Iam fully aware of the rules.

Actually you can only have 50lbs max in two separate weight boxes totaling 100lbs in the stock class. See below:
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 think I’m good, I have two 50lb bars bolted across the trunk through the frame with two 1/2” grade 8 bolts each. I just received a new Cal-Trac weight box and it’s bolted to the frame with two 1/2” grade 8 bolts also. For the Cal-Trac box I have 45lbs of shot in 10 removable bags. That should get me enough adjustable weight for different track scales.

See you there, bring shorts?.hot hot!
