JHotnuts,
No reason to apologize. You weren't being a D**K.
The great thing about this sport is that everyone has different ways of doing things. The reason I said to add weight is because this is what works for us. IMO, I tend to think (depending on the situation at hand) that I would prefer to add weight before adding a wing or aerdynamic device. IMO adding weight (in certain cases/classes) produces less drag than a wing or aerodynamic device. Again this is just my opinion, and it is my opinion because it has worked for us.
On the flip side, my good friend Seth Hammond added a wing to his modified roadster and did very well with it, but he also had quite a bit of HP to play with. So, like I stated in the beginning of this reply, it all depends on what's going to work best for your racing application.
