Camber gauge, ride height gauge, caliper, etc. Most I know don't use a setup board and almost always eyeball front toe. There is a way to check it with a flat surface and camber gauge (or iphone), but most don't do it. They don't get their stuff pre-setup. If you see one of them with a mechanic at a big race he is usually just their pit guy and does what they tell him. Especially the american drivers. The closest thing I've seen to a mechanic is Cav's dad who is very hands on. Mayfield, Fischer, Drake, Truhe all do their own. You really think the guy pitting for Drake touches his motor without looking up to see what he says first. HA!
