One of the thing's that separates the pro's from the casual racers is their attention to detail. How many times have you heard someone say "oh man I couldn't drive Hodge's setup; Man Dumas's setup was not for me; I tried Teemu's setup and couldn't drive it. Then you go back and look at their car and yes it has the right shocks and springs and oil and camber...etc, but you'll see a bent turnbuckle, tweak in the car, droop off left to right.....

True there are some who can just wheel any car to victory.

Always make sure you pay attention to the basics. I can honestly say that if I had payed more attention to these things, I would have been a better driver. Yes I was guilty of it too.

ride height
camber
Toe in/out
droop
tweak
diffs smooth
shocks rebuilt when needed
