Definitely get on a certified scale somewhere. I've been everywhere from high-3400 to just shy of 3900 pounds, all in the same car, at different race tracks over the course of about 5 years. Kind of makes ya wonder how the REAL racers would deal with a 500 pound swing?!

I don't know how it may work in other states, but here in Washington the truck weigh stations leave their scales up and running even when they are closed, to benefit truck drivers who want to make sure they are legal.
