Who wants to use my scales?

Here's what I've done so far:

So, who wants to use them? How does $50/week sound?

I'll also check your corner weights for $10 in my garage... one time. If you find that you want to make changes, I'll credit you $10 on the rental. I'm doing this to avoid group/party rentals. I'd rather the scales not suffer the abuse of group events. I'm not totally against it, but I'd like to get a little more $ due to the increased abuse that this type of event would likely give the scales.

Thoughts?
in my thoughts at the moment: CRG, stock CR125, neck brace, full face helmet, etc.

Robbie, i'd love to use them (in your garage). what's your schedule like in the next 7-10 days?

here's a handy link for those w/out a fancy set of scales. http://rennlight.com/cgi-bin/balance.cgi

Looks great! You can count me in very soon. I am in the process of revamping the paint on the alltrac so as soon as it's done I'll be coming your way...
Do you have a set of ramps to roll onto the scales? Did you try them on your car yet? Results?



By the way Robbie, not sure if you need new tires yet but here is a good deal on some new ones... the C70 cmpound should be excellent.

Hot pink, right?

Not yet. The scales kinda blew my budget for corner weighing this year. :uhoh:

See the second link I posted in the 1st post.

I'll check it out. Thanks for the heads up.

Oh yeah, I keep missing posts and links...:headbutt:

Sounds like you had to move the collar quite a bit...10 turns? Isn't that like 1/2 inch lower on the LF now? wow! Also, your car is too fat! You need to put it on a diet...heh The weights look very decent... so you think you could play with the ride height in the rear to bring it to optimal ~50% cross weight?

When I first read that, I thought it said "too FAST". A/C is nice in the summer. :biggrin: I drive this car to work every day!

I'm happy with the distribution at the moment. I've actually lowered two more turns since the right up.

I was just kidding about your car being fat, it's actually not bad at all at 3100 lbs.
Great videos as usual Robbie!

[RobbieNelson]

Why? Partly because Martin didn't show for his appointment today and partly "because I can".

I'll need to rent your scales (and your expertise) in about a month Robbie.

Sure thing. They're just collecting dust right now. Just let me know ahead of time. I'm more than willing to help, but if you wanna take them for a few days, I trust you with them. We can do it in my garage or yours... your call.

BTW... I just bought a bunch of dirt riding gear(helmet, gloves, pants, jersey, goggles, chest protector). The new gear and a recent trip to an Arenacross has put me in the mood to ride. I'm also going to be purchasing a small bike for my son. Do you know anyone with a < 5yr old 50cc for sale?

[2ndShot]

Sounds good Robbie, thanks!

I'll keep you posted on our riding plans this year - you're welcome to join us. Don't know of anyone selling a 50, but you shouldn't have any trouble finding one in the ad bulletin.

[gtfour77]

Robbie, Miro and I will also need the scales within the next month or two if you don't mind. We'll pay of course.

Anybody have 20 pounds of lead laying around?


Non-OE Ignition: Non-OE Capacitive Discharge Ignition
(CDI) may be used provided that the stator, rotor and fl y-
wheel (including any wires and connectors) must be OE and
may not move by any remote device. Furthermore, the igni-
tion system may not control the fuel induction system in any
manner. Ignition interrupt systems (e.g., speed shift and no
lift shift systems) are specifi cally disallowed. The CDI must
be normally commercially available over the counter in the
USA to all competitors. Use of any non-OE ignition CDI, pro-
grammable or pre-programmed, incurs a 20-lb weight pen-
alty.
