You want the weight to be balanced front to back, that's why the Indy Cars have wings on the front and back of the cars to add or take away downforce.
On another note the IndyCars also have a weight jacker that adjusts the cross weight on the car from left to right. The weight jacker allows the driver to make fine-tuning adjustments as the car begins to handle differently during the race.

What is the law in Michigan for children riding in front seat?
A child must be 11 and above to sit in the front seat. Any child under the weight of 75 lbs should be in the back seat. If you are under the age of eight you should be in the back seat with a booster seat. If your car does not have a back seat, then your child should still sit in the front but still with a booster seat. You should also get your air-bag de-activated if you need a child to sit in the front that is under the age of 11. However, you should read your car's owner's manual as well. Some vehicles automatically turn off the airbag AND seat belt tensioner if the weight in the seat is under 66 pounds. Therefore, the seat belt would not work in an accident and it would be unsafe to ever have a live person even with booster seat in the front if the total weight is under 66 lbs. This is just one example from our Mazda 3. Your vehicle may have a different weight limit and may or may not shut off the seat belt tensioner if the passenger's weight is under the specified limit.
