who says they have to any thing that's on private property plus its in the rule book when they sign in their entry fee they agree by those rules if one car out of 88 cars is light now the sales are wrong I don't think it works that way and if that track is sales are wrong then every track in the nation should have scales checked weekly how is that going to work out
-
A race track can not make up a rule that supercides a state law. State law if payout is based on weight then the scales must be certified.

You are kidding, right? The drivers already make most of the rules now. A union. Please. You live with the rules or don't go.

Actually, that is what we probably need. A death of it in its current form. Then it can be reborn where things are not legislated to the nth degree because less is st stake.

Eldora is not buying and selling commodities. The scale is a simple tool to enforce their rules. I guess you think the tape measures that they use on deck height better be calibrated to a NIST standard as well?

The suit states that the scales came up with a range of 45lbs difference on the test that were done. If you are weighed after a heat and it may only weigh 10lbs light, you will adjust for that. but then after the feature it could weigh 50lbs off and you would still be 40lbs short.
if they were consistant you could adjust. The state test showed the scales varied on each time tested
-
The next month, the Ohio Department of Agriculture found that the scale was "out of tolerance," indicating weights 15 to 61 pounds too light in six tests, the lawsuit states.
The scales, which Eldora had replaced just before the race, allegedly indicated errors of 37 to 61 pounds, state inspectors found.

Copped from law suit ...Ohio Department of Agriculture is the ones too inspector the scales.. they say that that are wrong....If they were not inspected be for then they may have broken the Law....

That writeup didn't get details to understand what the scale was doing. It was probably off so many# at 2000, so many at 3000, etc. I serious doubt repeatability was that poor.

Looks like lots of arm chair lawyers here.
How about this... WRG file a temporary injunction banning said drivers from competing in any UMP or WOO event until said case is settled. Such cases can and probably will drag on for years.
Now basically there are WOO, UMP, Lucas, and open events to choose from at that level. Let's take away half of the events until the lawyers have decided they have enough of everyone's money and come to a resolution.
I think win or lose, they will still lose. And remember, can't sue for costs involving a civil suit. And then there's the enivitable counter suits for each plaintiff. You really think Smoke is going to take this sitting down? I doubt it. I would say he might have the clout to squash some things here.
It will never help the sport of racing.

Trucks do not sell they carry it too the stores.. and they can not be over a ton age or they are fined.. Ohio Law.. so if the car cant be under 3200 Pounds then the Scale must be Certified BY Ohio LAW..... ITS the LAW

It's also called state law. City, State, and U.S. laws always TRUMP sports laws & rules. If holding a sports event you (the venue, promoter, manager, ect...) are to abide by them or pay the consequences. Track rules don't mean sh!t when it comes to government laws.
