IHRA and Memphis

Mike Beard makes a good point...bleeding from a thousand cuts.
One of the annoying issues with IHRA are the inoperable scales.
Having to use portable unreliable scales.

All the tracks should have professional operating scales.
MIR had operable scales. Keystone that had the portables.
MIR was 25# heavier with same amount of fuel.
At Empire barely made weight despite filling up the fuel tank full.
At MIR would have weighed 120 heavier.

This is one of the things that detracts from otherwise well run races.
I bet NHRA has proper working scales.
Just one small thing that can be corrected..

On a positive note.
Did like the fact Empire improved its rest rooms..very clean.
Guess something happened. Sunday they had portables..
