Yeah, you are right. I was just talking to Jimmy Coan and he told me that
after my days there was a new regulation or a summary of regulations on weight
and they (SCCA) decided and told everyone in the supplementary that the
track scales were the official scales and if you don't get your car checked
it's your tough luck. So time passes and my argument probably loses, but I'd
do it anyway just on spec. They used to weigh the GTP cars the same way and
silly you are that does not check before hand.

Yeah, Kas, tell a steward that nowadays and see how far you get! :-)
BTW -- different infraction -- but another driver and I got called in once
to "chat" with the stewards during practice about our transgression. We were
both above the rollbar. Other driver threw a fit, cussed the stewards,
stalked off. I was sweetness and light, asked for help with a solution and
they found one for me. I kept racing, he didn't.
Then again, and especially if your class weighs without driver, be sure your
helmet's in the car as they weigh it. You raced with it, you weigh with it.
(If I was one pound under -- I could wish! -- I'd skim my driver suit off
and toss that in).
