packwood autox, mtn loop hwy

[an nguyen]

this time had 2 new victoracers up front and an alignment that wasn’t toed in.

• On sat. got a ride in jim daniels’ csp miata; wow learned some more as he ran 2+ secs faster than me. But worse, Fastmike ran an e stock miata 1.5 secs faster than me ouch!
• on sun. almost managed to get DFL (dead f*ing last) in sm
• About 2.3 sec behind class leader tony lemon but I’m happy it wasn’t any worse!
• Road like course by fastmike had a g circle, so plenty of fun throttle steering =)

Tough group you run with a lot of smaller cars?  How do you like the alignment?  How much toe were you runing with before?  I was thinking about trying to run 0 toe all the way around  or near it but it is also a road car and just occasional autocrosser.

i think this is bigger than the talon =) 1968    Plymouth Valiant

next month i expect to see sti's and evo's back in sm

0 toe front/rear should be fine for a street car.

i have a mildly aggressive setting like that: 1/16" out total front, 0 rear.
(i don't wanna scare myself w/ big toe out tracking at the raceway)

for 2-3 months i was fiddling w/ raising my ride height so alignment ended up toed in front (stayed 0 in back)
