Digital scales are a key item. Two sets of digital scales are ideal. One set of scales should be located on the repair station table and one at the qualification table.
The scales at the qualification table is considered to be the official scales for this event, even if a clubber had his car weighed at the post office or other similar scales.
A set of similar height tables is great to set the track on. This gets the race up where it can be seen, and gets the track off the floor so it is not walked over.

Rope and Standards
-
100 of Ό yellow nylon rope is good.
12 or so rope standards to hold rope around track and pit area. These standards can be made as follows: cut a 12x12 piece
of ½ plywood, cut 5.5 from a cedar 2x6 and drill a 1.25 hole in the middle. Center these pieces and nail together. Cut
a dowel with 1.25 diameter to 32 long. Screw an eyelet big enough to put rope through into one end of the dowel. Using
the other piece as a base push the dowel into the 1.25 hole, and you have a very nice rope standard.
