Dennis, we have been using the honor system for records, most of us do check our weights. I usually stop at a truck scale on the way to a meet where I might try for a record, if I'm not sure the track has operating scales. Lou has brought his scales, before, but I don't think anyone has said it would be mandatory. Most of the racers just did it for their own information.

I know Charlie, we have always been on the honor system for everything. That's why I'm asking why start scaling now?

IIRC there was a scale at the tech booth at CC. I have no idea if it works.

I agree that we do not need weight check necessarily, as long as the person has weighed the car on their own and not just estimated.

Best,
Lou

Called MP Dragway this afternoon. Guess their phone has been temporarily disconnected. No other # given. So I e-mailed Shane and asked for the 1/4 mile race and 1/8 mile make up for Sat. w/ the regular 1/4 mile on Sun.

Will keep ya posted.

I had really hoped to get to another "away" race this year but I will not make it to Clay City either. I will have to settle for 3 more races at the final event of the year at Mason Dixon.

Hope you have a great turn out!

Rick

Greg, unfortunately I can not. I have a friend who is getting married that weekend and I have promised to be there.

Rick, there goes my dream of winning Clay City in a Covalt rent a racer. :cry:

Looks like me, Whitney, and the baby will be making the trip to clay city this year. I will be bringing the 2wd 85' ram to the track this time. Sadly, I haven't had the time to get the race car or the dart back together so all I have is the truck this year. (sorry dennis I wish I had a covalt rent a racer for you) We are looking forward to the races and hoping Adelynn gets to see her first slant 6 race. We will be there saturday for sure and possibly Sunday too. Hope to see you all soon.
