Thanks!
The SCCA scales in the Solo trailer are not known for repeatable 100% accuracy. I worked impound the day I weighed. I asked a lot of them if the weights we took were expected and everyone said they were within a few pounds.
Kevin and I both saw 3274 on the readout, but by the time I took a pic, it lost the right rear scale (and I didn't realize it until the car was back in paddock). The corner weights in the pic were (full trunk junk and 3/8 tank):
LF: 841 FLR: 847
LR: 758 RR: XXX
Scroggs' scale pic last year of his car fully stock with all trunk junk, etc and 1/8 tank was 3237 with splits:
LF: 829 RF: 867
LR: 764 RR: 777
Anything seem funny?
Scroggs' car has a pretty even L/R split in its F/R balance with about 0.7% spread. If I fill in 838 pounds for my RR to get a total of 3274, it jacks the weight in a way that makes my L/R split for F/R balance jump to a 2.3% spread, which seems huge. It also makes my LF and RR heavier (RR significantly so) than his and RF and LR lighter.
Maybe if the extra 3-4 gallons of fuel are all held on the right side of the tank? Maybe the scale positioning biased towards the RR? Maybe a little of both?
I want to put the car on another set of scales
