how to find the weight at each tire
does anyone know a method to find the weight at each tire for purposes of balancing the car? im guessing some sort of heavy duty scale?? 2800/4 = 700 do they make bathroom scales for really fat people that go up that high

The RuggleS'cales at Pegasus Racing are just lever arms (2:1 or 4:1 ratio) that work with cheap bathroom scales.

when i get my engine back together ill take it by to get the corner weights tested (half of my engine is on the kitchen table... im in the middle of the vacuum line job). hey i have a question... wouldnt i want to sit in the car when i get the corner weights tested, or should i stay outside? it seems like corner weights would only be usefull or apply to one driver for a specific car......

You would want to be in the car, with the same gas load you would normally have when racing -- over half a tank anyway. Also, when they align it, tell them NOT to adjust for the road crown.
