You said something happened to the alignment? What changed? I spun my car 20 times over that weekend so I'm wondering how far my settings are off. - Jeremy

Here is a sample video of all my spins. I still need to get my fastest runs uploaded. Waiting on the times to be uploaded still.

Hey Feldy



That back sweeper had very poor pavement, under load near the end of the runs the car started to go off as I mentioned, well clearly on the drive home I could feel the car was not tracking properly anymore.

Rear toe was off on the rear right and front toe was bonkers.
Screen shot shows the rear corrected but that is how the front was before correction.

You can get 7-9k miles out of them if you dont track them.
They are by far one of the best autox/track tires.
But they are bad once the temps get below 55 and cold and wet is even worse. If you are in the heat all the time they are a good choice. If not consider Dunlop Star Spec I or II.

Oh wow. That's quite a change. Ill bring this up on the local forum and see what people think. We have quite a few people who re-do there alignment each event. Wondering if this is a isolated incident or a larger issue. I've been running there for 3 years no issues.

Ran the frs there since may last year on the factory alignment till last October. no issues like that was present when we did the crash bolt alignment. Ill be doing one in the next month or so we will see.

I actually almost stopped on course because the pavement had broken up so bad. Ran over a huge piece the size of twinkee, its possible this was the cause.

That was in the first run group though, you guys cleaned it up after I told the grid workers.
