Wish we had that problem we carry more than enough extra weight so we don't have to make all those trips to the scale . I remember in 600's it was 750 lbs car and driver at thunder valley and we had to add weight. Those were the good old days, but we grew up. The way I see it 8 lbs is not going to affect the outcome one way or the other, now 50 lbs will and a lot of us weigh over 1/2 a ton across the scale, makes it hard to run up front. If you are good you can but a poor guy starting out will probably say to hell with it in a year or so and quit. Take him and the kids just moving thru and it's hard to build car count. One gallon of fuel is 8 lbs make the min weight 762-770 for fuel set your car up to 770 and stop fighting the ounces. When and if you come up light ask for the scale holder to be removed and weigh directly off of the ground the wheel weight % will be way off but the car weight will be spot on. Wish I would have thought of that a few years ago, at times they are also measure the spring rate of the scale holder. If the raise the scale holder up and slip a 2x4 under the middle of the ramps before they weigh you, you know you got problems.
