====================
Hmm, shoulda left those McDonald's wrappers in the car after all. ;^)
Next time remember to nonchalantly toss your hat back into the car also.
I sure would've asked to see the scale calibration certificate. If that
doesn't help I'd ask to see the certification papers of the person who
was weighing the cars. Ya gotta be trained to properly set up and
operate those scales. Was the surface perfectly level? I'd bet not.
And if that didn't help then I'd ask to see the certification papers for
the machine that calibrated the scales. If that still didn't help I'd
ask to see the certification papers of the guy who calibrated the scale
calibration machine. And so on and so forth.
I know, it reeks of weenie-ness, but then so does a 3 pound underweight
protest on a car with that large of a win margin over the next car.
No guarantees but sooner or later someone isn't going to be able to
produce documentation of proper certification. This has worked several
times for me with regards to radar guns and speeding tickets.
The 1" too wide track would be a definite performance enhancement
though.
Good luck and congrats on beating the next car by 1/2 a lap.
See you on course.
