Do most of you guys stay right at the track or just nearby? What's the average you spend on lodging for a track weekend?
Most of us put our cars on jack stands and sleep under them. with a couple blankets, its actually pretty cozy.
You can just leave them running for warmth on a cold night and the exhaust puts you right to sleep.

Hahahah puts you to sleep ahaha that's good.

But ya, I stayed in Winchester Mariott...took a good 20+ minutes on some back roads through farm land to get there. There were some slightly closer ones but I get discount there. Think I paid like $75-80 a night or something. It is usually so early, I was already waking up by 5...I'd hate to stay at home and have to wake up at 415. If you have a motor home you can stay in the paddock.

If you don't have any rear aero that kind of alignment is going to make for a really tail happy car won't it? Unless you've got a large sway to counteract it? I imagine with that alignment you're getting optimal tire wear?

The only thing "optimal" about my alignment settings is lap time. My settings would not be good for anything other than a dedicated track car.

^that's what I figured. generally the only time I see more front camber than rear is on a track car.

I'm excited to be getting my hard dog bar tomorrow

Lol . So for a semi-dedicated track car, would something like -2F, -3R or -2F, -2.5R be ok? Does the fact you have more up front have anything to do with having a rear wing, or more due to the stiffness of your front sway bar?
