I love this thing.

I have the $2k scales, but this is what I bring to the track. Great for me if I go off track and mess up the alignment of the car. I can put it right back. I have grown to really trust the accuracy of this reading. I actually sold mine when I bought the scales (actually a group of 4 of us racers here bought the scales). I ended up re-buying the checker because I missed the quick convenience of it.

About the cut part of the tire, The small 3/8" diameter pin is what lifts your wheel up. In the rear it can see as much as 1000 lbs. You can imagine what that does to your aluminum wheel.

I have a 3" square piece of tire tread that I put between the checker and the wheel to save them from getting scrapped up.

Speedway motors is the only place I have seen these for sale.

I have also owned the cantilever standard scale setup. Much less accurate than the checker. Would not trade one for the other. Ever.

Webrest. If you want to mail order it from Speedway I can bounce it from me to you. Have it shipped to me and I will ship it to you.
