I would like to know what it actually weighs though

ive always gotten different readings on the tracks scale each time i went, im not talking 60lbs difference more like +/- a couple hundred lbs. i remember times the scale at the track was reading weight when there was nothing even on it, i dont think they calibrate that thing very often. as maddie said we weighed her car the night before the track at the weigh station and then when we were at the track she put it on their scale and the reading was alot different. i weigh all my stuff at the weigh stations on 93, ill stop at the north bound one check the weight and then go up to exit 4 and turn around to head south bound and stop at that one to just to be sure, but both scales have always given me the same reading. there are plenty of good scales in new england, the ones on 93 happen to be close to me so i use those. id suggest stopping by scrap metal places, transfer stations, etc and ask if theyll let you put your car on the scale just make sure its been certified or calibrated recently. i will even get out of the car to see if the scale drops the amount of my body weight, another indication of how precise/accurate a scale is.
