Hey Josh,
I race with Bryan/jsaves...his car looks pretty good, it's just that our carpet gets rolled up between races and has a different layout each time we race so it never gets a "groove". Definitely something other than what you'd see at Novak...or even a decently attended 2-day event somewhere.
I see you've declared 3 deg rear to "a must". I'm building up a TC5R for use as a Vintage TransAm car and, to say the least, we're dealing with a fair bit less power and a FDR limit that hampers straight speed. One of the "tricks" I've seen is to minimize (eliminate?) rear toe to gain some speed by reducing the scrub of the rear tires. Any suggestions on offsetting that loss of rear toe through other adjustments?
Many thanks,
Scottrik
