    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.

                    I heard the only time that scale works is when Ole bloomie goes across it

                        Well, as someone else posted, unless you are severely over, you gotta stop, to keep it from jumping around. 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.
                        Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

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