N3 - How to make an "illegal" setup STG file

Can I set N3 so it puts 60% weight on the left instead of the current
max of 1900 lbs.?

I am using NASCAR 3 as a simulator to prepare for my rookie year
racing a super late model.  I have made several adjustments to
simulate our car, especially in the area of weight/balance plus the
2-speed transmission.

The tracks where we will be competing allow 60% weight on the left
side, which exceeds the max in N3.  Is there any way to spoof the sim
or edit the .stg file so I can set it for 60% left?

An interesting note . . . I think that South boston simulates the
track where I'll be racing.  I put our wedge and F/R weight the same
as our car and went out and beat my previous record by the 10th lap.
The racing line is more like what I see at the track and fits with
what Butch Miller writes about in his book on Short Track racing

I got some great advice here before . . . thanks to everybody

Hmm, If it can be done, It would not be very easy. Youll need a programmer.
Maybe adjusting the wedge would simulate 60%? Late model sounds cool, is it
expensive to run?  How would someone start in late model?  My closest short
track is Southside speedway in VA. South boston is also the closest thing to
southside in N3.
