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.

Sorry,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...

It's been about 3 or 4 years since I have driven past that place. I used to pass by it every week, but the company I picked up samples from had to have a NADCAP certified lab to do testing for them. My parents decided to opt out of the certification because they would have had to triple their rates in order to pay for the certification.
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.........Maybe we should have an MME Saturday Weigh-Off...
Alright people, place your bets!!! I'm willing to throw down some dollars to see who can most accurately guess the BR weight.A weight day would have to include a BR Weight pool!
fail. You should have done it with a full tank.
Make sure you've put the butterfly brace and all of the other stuff on your car before you weigh it.Me three. I'd like to see if my car is as "heavy" as y'all tease me about. (I'll have to remember to fill the tires with helium first.)
I'm in! (putting pen to paper as we speak...)
EDIT: I'm gonna guess 2615 lbs.
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.

Man, that's pretty heavy for an NA. My '99 Sport weighed in around 2215, with a/c but with a manual steering rack.
Heck, my RX-8 only weighs about 2815!
