Center of Gravity
The center of gravity (CG) is the location where, if suspended, the car would rotate. The center of gravity affects both the static weight placement and how weight is transferred under acceleration. Generally, the lower and more forward the center of gravity, the less weight is transferred to the rear. In drag racing, the ideal setting would be one that allows all the weight to be evenly transferred to the rear with the front tires just barely leaving the ground. This will eliminate the rolling and inertial resistance of the front tires and guarantee that all the weight is on the rear tires. The vertical CG is specified in inches from the bottom of the chassis (not the ground) and can be a negative value. As a general rule; the lower the CG, the less weight will be transferred (see physics sections).
The longitudinal and lateral CG's are calculated based on the corner weights of the "dry" chassis and the amount and placement of ballast. The corner weights represent how much weight is found over each tire when the vehicle is at rest.

Ballast can be added to at any point on the chassis to help balance the car under acceleration. The amount of ballast is specified in pounds and is entered in the box marked Ballast. The position of the ballast is adjustable by moving the square box with an "X" inside by selecting the arrows.
The total weight (static weight + ballast) over each tire is displayed for each corner.
