you need to talk to my little birdie (who reads this forum from time to time) and let me know whats going on. Even in the miata world its hard to keep up with weights. Let alone ALL the chassis and class combinations possible.

 everyone thinks their class is simple. can you tell me what a spec E30 is supposed to scale with driver? Or what the power to weight ratio is for GTS 1-5 and AI and AIX? it gets to be a pain in the butt

It's almost like classes should put their weights on the windshield... or something.

But helmets squeeze poor racer brains, and they don't think straight, so instead we have the moron in the E36 (108") who thinks he can drive right on the scale that the porsche 911 (89") just got off of.

Seriously, if everybody did this, then you all would be on and off the scales pretty quickly. I've helped down there enough to know that if racers did this, then they'd have less time at the scales to bitch.

I requested it to be in the CCR... But no dice. So the class directors need to enforce it. We'll work with you!
