It won't matter to me of Scott ever decides to show again at Eldora, I go to watch a race, not one or three guys. Those three guys don't make or break the show for me. BShep took his punishment and went on with life.

RT bail out too? He doesn't drive the Haley 33x anymore, so he should be good to come back.

I totally agree with this assessment.

My friend says he has been calibrating gram scales for a few years now. He has been promoted from the vehicle scales.

Dd45 uses gram scales!!

LOL.....they are 20 year old Intercomps. I have sent them back twice for repairs and was told they were within their tolerance. Pretty good service out of a $1000 set of scales!

In my state, it only costs a business $110 for a state inspector, or certified sub-contractor, to certify ones scales. Since that info comes from a fellow church member with 20 plus years experience, Im sure its reliable info. BTW, our state requires scales to be within .1%.

Im sure its not the same with every state, but why wouldn't a track want their scales certified to end all this NONSENSE! The tracks cost is negligible. Doesn't it fall under the category of OPENNESS!

So the answer to my question was: No, they aren't certified. YOU are taking the companies word that they were within their tolerance (while set up at their shop and not moved). Once you move the scales, they MUST be recalibrated every time before you weigh on them again.

So, you're recalibrating your shop scales every time you move them (even bump them and move them an inch) before you weigh your car?

To think your scales in your shop are any more accurate than a track scale is also laughable.

Did Intercomp tell you what their tolerance was? If they didn't, you don't know how accurate it was when it was at their shop, let alone after boxing them up, shipping (no jostling around going on there) and you re-setting them up multiple times.

Bloomquist will never see a dime. He has to prove the scales were incorrect AND that his car was heavy enough at that exact moment in time. He blew that chance when he drove it back to the trailer that night.
