The NASCAR racers that I know have portable scales they use when setting up their rigs. The one I used fit in a nice little case and had 4 load cells on a single readout. Speed shops are usually a good place to get information on the local racing fraternity. My local AIP also has a set because they have to do new weight and balance on certified airplanes after equipment changes. The charge was less than $200., as of a year ago. That might also be worth checking out.
