^ Well....I have handling issues. It was like driving a cross between a car with all wheel steering and a car with two rear tires that are flat or only 10 lbs. of air. That about sums it up. Oh, it would even drift left or right going down the back straight once you got over 100 mph. Thinking back now, there are dips along the straight and that may have been what was making it drift. That tells me something is lose in the alignment right? Most all settings are marked by the guy who aligned it and they were all lined up. If it moved while loading and unloading is what I will be looking for next, if I can simulate that in the garage. But, they always end up back where they marks are. That could explain a lot though.
Brian Yorks helped me a lot checking every bushing, bolt to each control arm, sub frame, knuckle etc...... Checked toe front and rear (best we could with toe plates)and it was dead on. Ended up setting the rear shocks to full soft and using fresh set of tires and that helped a lot.
Besides the car being up on jack stands, back on the ground, up again and down again, the weekend went well as I was able to run both races and still drive it into the trailer!
