Few quick updates, been prepping to go up to High Plains Raceway for Aug 11-13. Finally signed up a couple of days ago to commit myself.

Put five new load range D tires on the trailer, regreased hubs, bought two spare hubs, and a few other things. I really, really don't want to have towing issues - especially since I intend to do the 14hr there in one shot.

Trip back I don't really have a choice on stopping at some point, so I'm trying to work out how to do that safely. Kinda thinking about doing an AirBNB in northern New Mexico.

I put on the RacerX rear upper control arms that I'd been sitting on since I sold the Hyperblue - set them to -2.8* rear camber for now. I can get another half a degree out of them but I need to buy thinner jamb nuts. It is a ~1 degree improvement for now though.

String aligned the car and found I'd been running like 3/8" front toe out. Set it to 0 toe front and rear.



Just in case it rains I picked up a set of stock second gen 18" wheels with the PS4 tires.




I'm about as prepped as I can be in terms of spares, should be fun.

I also drove the car around the street for about twenty minutes with the Xidas on full soft.... felt great, can't wait to get some track time in.
