Does anyone have some scales like from Weight Watchers that they could bring to weigh in the cars? I have one that we can use to weigh front and rear axle and total them up. However,it doesn't go up to the full 5 oz. I checked it and it's pretty accurate to total the weights. You can find all sorts of things when tweekers go to jail and their girl friends have a garage sale. Thanks Doug

I have a digital postal scale that will fit a car easily, I'll toss it in!

You folks are the BEST! Be sure to sign up/register your racer when you arrive at the IRG (Cookshack/upper area) so we can get the challenges started! Looking forward to a rematch with Rhino Ray. :R

I need to add a bit of weight onto my racer and it'll be ready to go, I'm short by 33.5 g. Kevin and I will be building his at the grove. I've booked some time at the wind tunnel for the final wind test this weekend so we'll have her all dialed in by then. :twisted: doug
