I consider it older concrete, it's an old airbase, but I really have no idea the history of Lincoln's surface.

Similar to the way Forbes Field used to be.

We don't plan on changing anything for Lincoln other than:
1) rotate tires front to back
2) replace OEM brake pads

It looks like I may have to bow out of the Finger Lakes tour.


Work is not allowing me to drive my personal vehicle on a work trip. I have work the week before in Mechanicsburg PA and was going to drive up Friday afternoon from there.


If I drive, I have to take a rental. If I fly, I won't have my car and won't be back until late Friday night (RI). :unamused:

Form an entity, with a vague name like "Essential SSC Consultants LLC." Lease your car to the LLC. Then lease your car back from the LLC. Problem solved. Lawyers do this stuff all the time.

Why not bum a ride? Spec class so not being in your own car shouldn't be a big deal right? With the Falkens consumable cost should be less than a local event entry fee, last I did the math it was a bit less than $50 in consumables for STX with Bridgestones iirc, good learning opportunity for a data comparison in the exact same car for someone newer who dived in. Or maybe con someone local to you into driving your car out? IDK seems like the best solution is to hook up with another autoxer.

It's not a matter of tort laws. It's contracting to a certain "non-corporate" entity. While I've been here for 19 years as a contractor, I'm also a little on the older side to just "up and move" into something new, so I get a little more protective of things, like my a) job and b) reputation (with my customer).

Question, I have installed the camber bolts, and put the oem crash bolts from the bottom into the top, yet my alignment guy cannot get camber past ~2.25. Any ideas why? It's a place that does performance alignments all the time but they just can't get it to 3 degrees.

What’s the offset of your wheels?
