Here is my quickest run on Sunday. My co-driver was having some fun with his video editing software and making fun of me when I kept singing that song at the beginning. Unfortunately my quickest run on Saturday was not recorded 
. We were using a sh*tty camera.

Moton Shocks:
Front: R= full stiff C= 1 from full stiff
Rear: R = 3 from full stiff C= 1 from full stiff
Alignment:
Front: Camber Max out negative camber -1.8 - -2.0
Toe: .04 total toe in
Rear: Camber -1.6
Toe: 0.00
Front Swaybar - Gendron Bar 1.25
I'm going back to the Saner bar. I was getting ton of wheel spin with the gendron bar on full stiff, and I was rubbing the 275 hoosiers upfront a bit. I don't have that issue with the saner on full stiff, or on medium stiff, and the car had better mid corner grip. Saner all the way.
Car was neutral on day 2 as it was setup with my Saner bar, but with lots of wheel spin. I had to drive around the wheel spin a bit UGH!

Interestingly enough, I had no skipping issues with the motons on full stiff, and that lot was a bit bumpy. I ran a slightly softer rebound setting in the front and stiffer setting in the rear at Dixie, and the car felt a lot better than it did at the Texas tour. My guess is the adjustment was needed due to the softer front bar. I'm going to dial it back once the saner back is back on. On a technical course, I'm finding a softer setting to be spot on. On a transition heavy course like Dixie, higher compression meant flat-footing through anything that is not a turn.

It's very interesting to see both you and Marc maxing out your dampers (different brands so it's apples to oranges but it's still interesting), particularly your compression in the front. Do you ever get issues with skipping? Or are these surfaces just so flat and smooth that a ton of compression with fresh R comps is going to be ideal? Look for my upcoming thread on 65%, Critical and overdamping, I would like to hear your thoughts. Congrats again, you and that CR are fast-
