Re scales: I tend to trust the "certified" scales more than the track scales. I live across the street from the feed store, and see the MoDOT(?) weights/measures periodically checking the scale. It has to be within 10 pounds at any point on the scale, which is somewhere in the neighborhood of 90 feet or so long. No matter where on that 90 feet they put that weight, it had better be within 10 pounds, or they lose their certification. They can also lose their certification by not being "certified" for 5(?) consecutive years...to regain their certification they must then be 100% correct. As I said above, I've seen a range of 400+ pounds using track scales. But having known what my car weighs on a certified scale I now know which track scales are right and which aren't...
Hey Pete: just think, you might have that white car in the 11's by now if you'd have been drinkin' "Lite" all these years!
