I can take the responsibility of being in charge of them if the club wants too. However I don't see it being beneficial to anyone at a point event since there are not enough time/ man power to set them up, push the cars on the scales and ETC. C

Scales at an event are nice if you just want to know how much your car weighs, but to corner balance the car properly takes a level surface and a couple of hours of tweaking adjustments to get it right. I believe Delanie was looking to rent/borrow them to balance up his car. May I suggest we put a time limit on the use of the scales? 2-3 days, then they get returned to the scale-keeper. That will give one time to do the job right and not have them sitting in someones garage for months at a time where they get forgotten.John W8

Yes, I can see that. We will have to assign someone stationary at the scales tho, to help push the cars up on the ramp and make sure it being properly used. Ill contact Delanie and see if he needs it before this weekend.

I currently have the scales. Finished with them over the weekend but will be out of town this weekend. I'll try to get them back up in the b-ham area sometime after that.
Edit: They also have brand new batteries in all locations as when I got them the unit was flashing saying everything needed new batteries. So I replaced the old Energizers with some new Duracells.Last edited by jledford; 01-31-2017, 10:31 AM.- Jerry Ledford
