Paul,
I used lg1 after a run just to clean the tires. Put it on wipe it off and let dry while getting the car ready for the next run. Then i put on lg2 and wait for it to dry. That seemed to produce the best traction for me.
How are you cleaning them after a run?

Thanks
Hi. i would reccomend doing exactly what you said, clean well with LG1 after the run then a very light coating of lg2 and let air dry. i have had very good feedback doing exactly that.

Thanks!

Is this something you might be interested in discussing, if so you can reach me at marty.crisp at setupworkbench.com

Cheers.

If so then shouldn't I just have a 2mm shim in the rear to give it a 3.5 final toe in?

thanks,

Hi, I think that the sheet sometimes can have an error or maybe i was mistaken when filling it out. I used 3.5degs of rear toe. that was with 1.9mms of shims with 0deg outboard.

Hi, I never posted that set up because i really was not happy with it atall at that race. And honestly i really dont remember what it was, im sorry for that.
If i had to go back to west coast i would start with my reedy set up but with 4deg caster blocks and a 1.2 front bar. I think that would be a much better base set up.

Thanks.
