Default I need to weigh my car in the NOVA/MD area before WCF

Anyone know where I can do this? I was hoping to go to T&T on Sun at MIR and get it done there but it rained. So I'm looking for a place with a scale, or someone who owns car scales before this weekend at MIR to make sure I'm at the min. weight.

if you cant drive it on the street take it to a scale on the trailor, go home take it off, then back to the scale without the car, then subtract

i saw a set of scales over at tsr/psi while I was there. Shoot Mike a pm here on h-t and set something up with him. I beleive its mike@psi

Might as well corner scale it and do it right rather then a truck stop.

You can bring it up to MIR during this week and weigh it if you would like. Call me in the office tomorrow 301-884-9833 to set up a time.

bah, thats too far but i really appreciate the offer. now if you'd let me take some passes down the track for a nominal fee, that would be a different story.

Edit: I just read the rules and min weight for true street is 2300 so I know i'm over that. I thought it was originally 2400.
