Says Jason Jameson failed at the scale. Guessing he won? And they gave it to Hoffman?

Looked more like 7, but 1 is enough to fail...

7lbs-11lbs-4lbs-3lbs,whatever.bottom line is this,i don't know of another track that has scale issues like eldora. Were the scales calibrated before the event,i doubt that they were.

How is it the scales fault if you are light it is the driver's responsibility to know what his car weighs at each and every track and after recent issues with Bloomquist I would say that Eldora has the most accurate scales around

Probably because they actually check weight. Cars don't even stop on the scales at Florence. They just roll and the weight counts on a bounce.

I've seen it where they usually do just roll but if it looks like it's going to be close or if the first initial reading is pretty low they will hold them. Mostly after the feature though not really after a heat race. I know of one or two tracks that didn't even have scales.

At Eldora,if your not in with the CLICK,you get the You Know WHAT!That thought may have flew a few years ago, but especially after Bloomers hissy, no way.

That crap is blatantly displayed and color coded. Green go to victory podium, red go to trailer.

Even before, there were quite a few eyes on the scales, now the fans have eyes on it too.

At Eldora,if your not in with the CLICK,you get the You Know WHAT!So every other driver that drove over the scale Saturday is in some kind of "click". Thanks for the inside info. Smh

Not thinking Nick Hoffman is in the Eldora CLICK.... LOL, he was just legal while Jameson was illegal. And I would be willing to bet Eldora has the best, legit scales in all of dirt racing. C' mon man.

Not saying there was any before, but they have taken out any chance of it now. The click deal does not apply at Eldora.

Too bad the scales at Eldora aren't accessible for the racers to verify their car weight before coming up light & being disqualified!

What, they don't let you scale after hotlaps or the heat races?

Eldora scales are usually open after hotlaps and heat races. Were they closed Saturday after hotlapping and heats??? Jameson along with all other drivers should have had the opportunity to check their weight before rolling out for the feature!

Was being facetious. Ample opportunities for every racer at Eldora to verify their weight. Pure carelessness in coming up light at the scales.

This person hit the nail on the head!and must have been paying attention,(A 25 LAP RACE,THAT TURNED OUT TO BE 27?

Is it fair to say that 2 laps is worth 4lbs of fuel?

Did they really run 27 green flag laps??? If so Jameson got screwed.

They ran 25 laps.... Don't go off of the jumbotron as it read 27 but that wasn't correct.

ThebigE

No, They did not run 27 laps.... They ran 25 laps. The jumbotron read 27 laps but that was an error.

Race gas is just over 6#/gallon. Cars burn roughly one quart per lap if you assume they are empty at the end of 100 laps. But, they aren't. So, there is 2# tops per lap. Even if they did run extra laps, it's a weak argument.
