I am going to talk to Bob about the use of the scales. There is no reason that we couldn't all be required to meet at the filling station before and after the track event just like we did for the Saturday event. And, it would actually require less man hours. Each vehicle required measuring track and wheel base and readjusting the ramps before it could be weighed. The fill ups went pretty quickly and it was fun to hang around and watch each other to see what we all got. The first click method still leaves some room for error but if you insert the nozzle the same amount every time and go very slowly, it could be pretty accurate on most cars except the Prius'. Vehicles with FACTORY onboard computers were allowed to use those numbers even though I know that my 2001 Insight always reads a few percent high. There is no money on the line so in the end it is all in good fun.
