Pulse and Glide for competition. Added mass?
I'm planning to enter my 2011 Honda CBR250R in the Green Grand Prix at Watkins Glenn Speedway in April. It is a hilly race track and should have some good opportunity for engine off Pulse and Glide. Assuming a competition setting where there are no stop signs, no use of the brakes needed in any way as the final average speed must be between 49 and 54mph, wouldn't the effectiveness of engine off Pulse and Glide, and my final average fuel economy be increased by adding ballast to the bike right up to the point just shy of having trouble pulling up the hills in top gear?
