old fart
I read scale numbers often on here. We never scaled very often but I just had a thought on it.
When ever I'm at a track everyone always seems to setup their scales the same way. Other then squaring up, leveling the scales and calibrating and zeroing the scales, is there anything else you do to make sure your numbers are right?
I just thought of doing this to ensure your scales were right.
Put the kart on the scales after making sure all is ok and take a reading. Then put your kart on the scales facing the other direction and see if front weight matches up to what rear weight was and if left side now matches up to what right side was.
I think it should, but never thought about trying it the few times we scaled and I'm just curious if the numbers would match. ... I'd bet they don't match, probably come close but won't match up exactly. ...
