OK... got the details on the Lewisville Feed Mill from Radio-Active, so I called them to see if they had a drive-on scale...
...aaaaaand they don't have it any more. :(
But I called a buddy over in Garland who races dirt track and he referred me to Chambers Brothers Construction over on N. Garland just off the PGBT. I called them and have a scale open to the public (not sure if they charge or not). I plan to check it out at lunch today. Will post with results.

Maybe we should have an MME Saturday Weigh-Off... :rolleyes:
A weight day would have to include a BR Weight pool! :DQuote:

Just got back from Chambers Brothers. Mine weighed in at 2420 lbs with an empty trunk and about 4.25 gal of gas.
...but that place charges $10 - ugh. Oh well.
Sorry,Quote:

Funny thing about it was that all of the suppoesed NADCAP certified labs started calling my parents lad in order to find out how to do the testing. Needless to say, my father told them to research it themselves.
I'll be in W. TX.........:(Quote:

Meh... I filled up right after I weighed... 8.339 gal to the 2nd click. So add about 50 lbs for a Grand Total of 2470. See, the 2420, that was my race weight. :rolleyes:Quote:

Heck, my RX-8 only weighs about 2815! :mrgreen:
