We have been instructed in tech to put both the minimum and maximum weight on the weight sticker that goes on the car. The maximum weight is figured by taking the minimum weight for the next heavier class and subtracting 5 pounds.

At the scales the maximum weight is enforced the same as the minimum weight…too heavy or too light is a DQ.

Sounds great! Thanks Travis!

Travis,
Thank you for the insight. I was woundering how that rule was going to be enforced.

Gives new meaning to the saying "get the lead out".

And all this time I thought the officials were just admiring my car. I guess I should have noticed the admiration was always from the weight sticker side.

Jeff, they were admiring your car, but they were also trying to figure out where you put all that weight! Jim

Most of it is in the drivers seat, or the beer box in the truck, but that don't count.
