Re: Question about divisional races
Truck scales at your local Flying J, Love's, etc. are normally pretty accurate as well. Your first weigh is ~10-12 bucks but subsequent weighs within 24 hours are only a buck or so. The good thing about that is you can get axle weights for your tow vehicle as well as trailer and you'll see how your tow vehicle axle weights may need to be adjusted with your weight transfer bars if you're using a weight distribution hitch. Weighing with car off the trailer can give you a accurate number for the car but for only a buck you can get the axle weights of the car itself. Don't expect 50/50 like a BMW but you can get close. If you want wheel weights (it's vital if you need to tune and you'll be surprised how much weight can be jacked corner to corner) then the aforementioned speed shop rental is good (try a shop specializing in dirt tracks). Also, many of your good motorhome dealers have weight pads, just be careful of their hourly rates so ask beforehand.
