just getting the SRX8 back running for this summer, but I forgot where I should be measuring front ride height??? I tried searching but no luck. Do I measure at the kink where the front kick up plate starts?

Yes, at the point (or just a hair behind) where the chassis is angled. Basically, front and rear ride height is measured from the very bottom of the chassis plate.

I measure the front right at the steering rack mount, right where the kick up begins. And the rear right at the skid plate.

Track is Trains and Lanes in Easton, PA. It's one the far east side of PA. It's a great track, plus they don't sugar it. Tire wear isn't too bad.
