Edit: did a google search for computerscales accuracy and its rated at 1/10th of a percent and 1500 per pad, so that's only 60 lbs worst case.

Sure that's not 6# ? And that would be on 6000#.

Just got back from the track and my car weighed in at 3000lbs with a half tank of gas. For comparison my friends 99 FRC weighed in at 3075lbs with 3/4 tank of gas. His car has motorsport wheels with runflats.
