Look like its going to be another competitive race day on Sunday!! Here comes another almost last place finish lol
Now to decide what alignment setting I'm going to play with. Any suggestions? Last BMW event ran -2 camber all around with 0 toe up front and 1/4 toe in in the rear and 6.8 caster up front. I liked the set up turn in had a little "to be expected push" but held nice. But the rear was an issue just felt like it wanted to step out a bit to much on sweepers but pivoted nicely around the cones at slower speeds. But I've heard of people running a bit of toe in on the front? Is that true and how does it feel?

Yeah I'm still trying to figure out what the optimal temps are. My friends bringing his pyrometer so he's gonna take whatever reading he can get from the tires. I just doubt if they will get hot enough to get solid numbers. Anyone got a good base psi?
But ron how's the valve adjustment now that it's not raining?

I have not driven the car for two weeks now so I'm having a serious withdrawals. I had a blast last time I drove her in the heavy rain after you adjusted the valves. Rain=fun for me.

We got like 18 people in STR. Crazy. Crazy awesome!!!
I personally get a little nervous thinking about it. Good thing is that I don't get as nervous at national events now since it is the same nail biting suspenseful experience as here locally.
