I am planning on bringing some cornerweight scales to SCC to check my cars cornerweights stay as I just set them up today after some big changes to the car.

So I am offering the chance to put your car on the scales with no charge over the weekend to see what Car and driver actually weighs.If you want to let me know in advance post on here,or just come see me preferably friday to arrange when,maybe we can do a few cars together after racing finishes on saturday Smiley

you do,to make sure the weight is good on all 4 wheels with the driver,and we all want to know how much the driver weighs Cheesy


Kalle, your welcome,I thought it would help some people out and add something interesting to talk about in the evening Smiley

I'm up for that as I am curious how heavy. So would appreciate a go...
My car is now with new cage and I don't expect the local truck weight to be accurate enough :-D

We can do a driver only weigh in down near the startline if you want Cheesy  could be quite revealing Grin

Nice one Richie.
Might just weigh myself again. The 34 waist is still loose, so fingers crossed.

What a nice offer, unless you've taken on too much already,  could you squeeze my car in the ranks also?
I would be happy man... or unhappy, depending on what the scale says  Smiley

I think i have got this figured out now,I have some long ramps that will lay flat on the ground & should fit perfectly between the scales,and a small pair of ramps for the front,so we should be able to roll each car straight up onto the scales,weigh it,then off the other end and put the next car straight on,enabling us to do alot more if needed  Smiley
