weight distribution

#1 Post by novaz » Wed Jun 01, 2005 8:03 pm

I know Craig is getting his car 4 CORNER SCALED but is there anyway to get an idea of weight distribution if you dont have access to those race scales.
I do have fairly easy access to a truck weight bridge but not sure they are very accurate
Thanks

Roy are there any circle track racers around your area? A lot of those guys have a set of scales, and it's pretty common that some of them will come over to your house and scale your car for you for a case of beer :lol:

You could get an idea of front to rear weight distribution by pulling just the front wheels on a truck scale, then the whole car. They may be off a bit for the weight, but should be the same % off more or less front to rear, then you could see how much lighter the rear was than the front. It won't tell you cross weights, but better than nothing.
