Default E-town scale..

I weighed my car after the first run 3415.
4 runs later, it was 3540...
Ummmmmmm.... Is their pizza that fattening?

Anyone else getting funky readings one run to the next?

My weighings have been very consistent. 3340 with me in it. I weighed 2 back to back runs last time at E-town and the weights were the same. I had the same weight last year as well. I usually run a little less than a 1/2 tank of gas.

Ellis you must look at the scale before you get on it to make sure it is zero.

The first part of the day it was reading like -75 or -80 and at the end of the day it was reading 0

After my last run I weighed in at 3543

El, Before you drive on the scale you need to see if there are any numbers displayed. If there are any numbers displayed - You will need to deduct that fromt he total you see with your car on the scale. When I weighed my Stang the scale had 14 on the display. The total weight was 3174. When I returned after another pass the scale did not have the 14 displayed and the Stang weighed the same as it did before by doing the math.

Then some times you may have to go inside the boot to turn the scale on. To turn the scales on you will need to push up the 2 breakers. If the scale is off you will see 3420 displayed "I think it is 3420"
