    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.

        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.
        Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

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

            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.

                Yep, now, it’s just, zero games played far as I’m concerned. No chance of any BS.

                  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!

                          I'm more interested in the number of laps ran vs the number of laps advertised

                              I agree. Especially a select few.

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