How often do cars fail weight and or fuel check during elimanations?
Seams like a waste of time for the most part.

In Div. 4 you go to scales first then they hand you cup for fuel check

I do agree its crazy even checking it unless its a heads up run. But I'm sure they have their reasons.

David,

I'm afraid you need to get your facts straight. My Father crossed the scale at around 9:00 am and continued to drive up the main road. He did not make the left to drive up the road that fuel check was taking place, because he did not see anyone motioning for him to do so. We were parked nowhere near there so it would not make sense for him to drive that direction anyway. There are a few red mustangs that were racing at the track this weekend. I watched watched Carroll Morris drive up that road warming up his super stocker during Stock Round 1. You may have confused his red mustang with ours? In any case, I think my dad remembers what road he drove down after crossing the scale. Hope this clears things up.
