It was cool to see him get the win. I am not saying he was light at the scales but no way he was weighed. I dont think the car stopped on the scales before he was waved off.

That's how they run the scales for a regular show at Florence. I've always laughed.

Do the scales even work, are they just there to appear to have scales? Has anyone ever questioned the quick wave off from the scales?

They work. It doesnt take long to see if it makes weight or not. He made weight easily.

That's the loudest I've heard that place since Bobby passed Bloomquist for the N/S a few years ago. You could hear the crowd in the infield over the cars every time he would slide Hudson and JD. I bet Josh didn't sleep last night, it was a cool scene to witness.

He must have been a couple hundred pounds over weight. If it is close you cant tell that fast.

Absolutely no dog in this fight, but from someone who has been around scales a lot, it’s not a drive over you’re good at 5-10 mph deal. Unless you’re over by a couple hundred or so.

I've wanted to test it, CnB, being quite light, but our car is too heavy.

I just watched the replay on Lucas Oil TV.. using on online stopwatch Josh was completely on the scales 1.9 seconds and very questionable if he ever completely stopped. It's so close to a continuous roll.

I doubt he was light, but yes, they don't scale correctly there. Cars never stop. Bloomer would have more Eldora wins with that technique.

I found it odd. The car ahead he had to wait for (who was sitting there a few seconds at least). Still, good win for Josh! Fun race to watch.

TD..

I noticed that as well. Looked like the scale guy was done with the guy before Josh but he didnt go. When you watched the video did you think Josh stopped on the scales?

The feature wasn't handed to Josh he had to work for it somewhere around 3 or 4 laps to go he made his move and it worked out for him it was a good race by veteran hall of famers sons.
