Thats the way it is at our track, no one worries about cheating because we are having too much fun. I generally run 1+ seconds behind the front runners. Thats not due to my motor tho because no one pulls me in the str8, its due to my driving line not being nearly as clean and smooth as their's are.

I run a T4'13 and it took right at 102g or so to get it up to weight with my EA battery. I stacked 70g in the center under/beside the belt, 7g under the steering bellcrank, and have 21g-f/14g-r on my battery. The 35g total on the battery is what it took to get my t3'12 USGT car to balanced weight too, so it all worked out. I run an HPI '68 Camaro, HPI DT1 dual drivers figures, and goo'd nose on the car.
We'll put my body on your car friday night and see what we come up with, I actually have 2 bodies set up like that.

The point of VTA at our local club is to have a friendly class that is slow and controlled. The VTA formula works at our track and we have a great time. Our track measures 25' x 55' with typical lap times around 8 seconds for the fast guys.
I can see now why you'd want to slow them down, that is a small track which usually translates into some fun racing.
