Both me and Stevie Wann were sitting in line after a Qualifier in Vegas and watched a gentleman drive right past us and fuel check . When it was brought to the attention of the officials it was a shoulder shrug and a comment of well if you don't want to weigh you don't have too .... 😲

A few years ago, I tried to bypass the long line (thirty cars long) at the scales when I did not improve my time, I was stopped, brought back and made to scale (but I did get put right on them immediately). I told them that I did not improve and the reply was "it doesn't matter, you HAVE to scale". This was 2003 at a Division 1 race.

In D2 both NHRA and IHRA you don't have to scale again if your Q pass did not improve over a previous one that you did scale and do fuel check for. been that way forever as far as I can remember.

How do the guys at the scale or fuel check know if a car that drives past improved on his qualifying time or not?

Div 3 we usually tell them we did not improve-generally they will wave you on unless they got the word that everybody will weigh or do fuel check-- if you improved your number is on a list--- if you did not weigh or do fuel check you will be notified and warned ---FED 387
