Adding weight, but don't want a big wheelie....

Have you tried leaving in second gear? A couple years ago my Dart ran 6.50 with a 1.52 60' leaving in second gear, in the heat.
I think that would probably get close to the number I need, but I fear that the car would be too lazy to react to the instant green tree. I'm already at a disadvantage due to foot-braking in a T-brake dominated class.

Thanks for all the options guys, I'll figure something out. This is not my normal race class, so I really don't want to spend money on slowing the car down, but I will find a way to make it run the number.

Thanks everyone (especially for the good laughs :))
