scaling

[pig tracker]

Agree RW57. Maybe all cars don't react like this, but my does the same thing. Besides, I pull axles to grease the splines anyway.

I use baby powder on my rear scales. Tire slips real easy, never binds.

I put my scales on vinyl floor tiles to let them slide and protect the underside of the scales. I remove the left side shocks and pull an axle. I don't measure ride height with the shocks on anyway, so I may as well remove them when scaling.

Scale it how you race it is my rule. We have pads to roll the car off the scales so we can roll it backward onto the weighing surface. You roll it backwards onto the scales to simulate the cars initial action. If you don't race it with an axel in it I'd scale it that way. Jmo

just do it the same way everytime. its more see if something is way out of wack. you dont race it at ride heights. i used to scale before every race, now maybe once a month. its all about getting the attitude in the car at race speed. if the right front is high in the corner lower it. if its on the RR to hard raise it. just my 2 cents, works for me might not for anyone else. I dont think anyone is wrong, but you should do it the same way everytime

i also did the jacking of the car in the middle of the rear end with a great deal of consistency for over 20 years on a modified....I too must be an idiot!!!!
