I run on a carpet track which is notable for the incredible amount of dust in it, I run Parma Yellow rear tires and Parma Lilac fronts, its an old CRC Carpet Knife 3.2R which is more of a Frankenstein car these days and has a new CRC Encore shock, 13.5 boosted and Parma body.

CRC Copper main shock spring, 30wt shock oil
0.020" front springs
CRC white (medium-tension) side springs preloaded to touch the pivot ball.
4mm ride height
CRC white (about 10,000wt) side-dampener fluid completely filling the side dampener shafts grooves to maximize side dampening
front shafts were oiled with light bearing oil and move freely in the knuckle and arm.

I would describe it as being a sort of double-steer, the front hooks, releases, then hooks again for the rest of the corner, I thought it was bouncing or something due to excessive weight transfer or the body dragging (wasn't the body). It was still very fast and controllable but it didn't instill the confidence to cut corners that little extra closer if you know what I mean.
