That's probably good enough for most people, hell no driver in the seat is probably good enough for most people, but technically weights in the driver's seat isn't exactly the same as a person, unless you've got a crash test dummy or something for weight.

It's always amazing to me how little it takes to change cross-weight on a car. Something as simple as setting the e-brake while on the scales will change it. So little things like how heavy your legs are in the footwell can change the numbers. Whether or not that actually affects the handling of the car in a meaningful way is up for discussion... especially considering how uncompetitive we all are anyway (this ain't F1!). But I always figure if you're spending the money for time on the scales, might as well get the weight as accurate as possible.

Oh and for you TT people, bring your log book so Cory can record your official race weight in there for classing purposes.
