Sometimes all it takes is a spin around the block when it's really not right.

Rear end got no grip, might be the springs I chose and my damper valving but I'm realizing I've got too much rear camber so I'll be taking that down today. It felt great in the spring and has felt like shit since I added too much rear camber, finally putting two and two together, the tire temps deceived me into thinking I wasn't too far off.

I also realized that my rear end is bottoming out which was causing some of the looseness earlier in the year, I jacked up the ride height to stock levels and got some minor improvement there so I'll be measuring the rear top hats to come up with a design I like because I don't want to pay $300+ for the ones that are currently out there.

Along with some minor stuff here and there if I get the alignment right and maybe have a new codriver to test out I'll be there.

I know it'll be a good event since you guys will be there I'll know how far off I am.

I haven't been active in the FT86 forum, SFR, or AAS autoX because I've been in SoCal since June. A course designed by you guys should be interesting. Wish I could go.

I'm looking forward to Saturday. It'll be my first SFR event in two years.

Great course, great weather, and my car was fun to drive.

10/10 need to stop having second thoughts about autocrossing and just do it.

I won't be able to make it to any slush events due to work, but I'll be at Lotus Club on Nov. 6 to test out the new suspension. Not the best course to do a TnT, but it's pretty much my only chance until next season
