That is a nice offer, but there are 2 sets of scales at the track already.

Some of our cars need something bigger than a postal scale...

There are a set of scales in the tech shed in the north paddock, and in garage bay 1 in the south paddack. They are built into the floor and have power to then all the time. I have used them occationally.

Seriously, some people use bathroom scales for cars like mine.

so you can use them to corner balance cars ?

Yes, you just need to move the car back and forth over the scales to read each corner.

It's wicked easy to use the scales in the tech shed. Disconnect all sway bars. Roll the front of the car on the scales. Read and record the right then the left. (you can do left and then right but then have to convert to metric). Next, roll the car forward so only the rear is on the scales. Record the right then left (or left and right and convert to metric).

(note: if you don't understand the humor, you should not be weighing anything)

Is that like using a metric adjustable wrench?

NO! whats ez is rolling my car on my own 4 wheel scales and just look at what the weight is at one time .then press the button get the cross weight . sense its so ez to do it your way you can use theres . but my offer still stands for any one who would like to use the ones i have .

Dave,

Too bad I can't attend this event as it on a weekday. I would have love to accept your offer to put my car on the scale.

Are you going to plan to bring it with you again at the last event in Oct, 31th? If you are I would love to see what my car weights.

Good luck with the event and I hope you have a fun time.
