That's a good point on the little weights. I have mine removed, Chuck Brandt's ERA build website goes over that in detail, and I believe McLeod (and others) even recommend removing them. If I recall correctly, Chuck's car would actually move forward if you revved while the clutch was engaged.

EDIT -- Here is the link to Chuck's site, http://www.chuckbrandt.com/living.htm His discussion on the Centerforce weights, and photos of the fix, are halfway down the page.
