Track Alignment near Boise

Does anybody have any suggestions for places to get a good alignment with corner weighting near Boise? I've shot paradigm a couple messages but they never respond. I just came across BK in here and asked them if they can but I don't see it listed on their site. Does anybody have a shop they like to use?

Update: I spoke with bk and they don't offer alignments.

You can easily do an alignment yourself with a couple tools from Longacre (camber gauge, toe plates), a measuring tool/stick and a set of strings. Corner balancing is a different beast however.

The best part about buying those tools - is you don't have to rely on a shop to do this work and you can make easy adjustments (or just checking toe) at the track.

For stringing the car - either use strings on stands or if you're wrapping the car with the string and bungees then MUST account for the difference in track width between the front and rear (which you can use toe plates to determine).

Yeah. I have it set up rn with a string alignment. I'd really like to have the car corner weighted though. I've been told AED Racing can do it but I haven't gotten in touch with them yet. They also carry ignite racing fuels and I'm Flex so I think I'll be seeing them
