    Thanks for the help. I am not too far off.
    Less front weight will usually go faster. Ice and dirt racing excepted. That is why the Jetta is a better race car. Much better balance . MM

    Oh i do agree with that. I remove all of the front weight that I can within the rules. I just don't compensate and put it back at the opposite end. I don't want to race a dumb bell. I put the weight on the floor, at the lowest point I can, and take whatever I can off the front. The Jetta vs Golf piont may well be true, but is a different issue. I have pondered that one a lot, and think the Jetta would be a better enduro choice, but considering that shorter cars fit into smaller spaces, and can complete a pass in less space makes the Golf a better sprint race choice.

    I still would like to build a Jetta just to test it though.
