What cracks me up is scott was the only 1 that failed weight 1 time ALL wknd long and your saying hes right. What is scott to do admit he was wrong, no that would make him look like a fool
    You are more of a bone head than I thought.

    BTW that chk thats in the mail has expired good luck! Lmao smh
    Denial......whats there to deny? There was a financial transaction wasn't there?

    True....the decrepancies were supposedly from the Dept of Agriculture, if they weren't, so be it. Even my profession requires way less than 1% accuracy, and lives could/couldn't be at stake.

    Since my state requires scales to be within .1%, Eldoras would need to be +/- 2.3lbs. Maybe someone in Ohio could verify what they require.

        still wondering why the other eight DQed at the scale that race haven't joined the lawsuit.

          There were others that were light? I thought bloomer was the only one.

              No they aren't. BUT there is still a monetary exchange.

                I don't know what you are smoking, but there are no scales than can weigh consistently with 0.1% error for weights in the range of a vehicle.

                Maybe at 100,000 #. The article just gave some random errors that may or may not be true. And the errors were not assigned to any nominal value. They just said numbers like 40#. 40# at 10000# would be very good.

                  Like I said in another post, a fellow church member/neighbor has 20 plus years experience calibrating scales for my state. That was words from his own mouth. I seriously doubt, he would lie about his own profession. Maybe, you should stick to your own profession.

                    I use all sorts of transducers every day. I am within my knowledge base. You can certainly calibrate part of your range to near that accuracy, but it won't be the whole range and it won't stay there. We have gram scales that cost more than a luxury sedan.

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

                        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.
