They literally opened the store, gathered the required parts and drove half way across the state to deliver them

Any chance you could post the alignment specs?
I followed these recommendations:

Might be not the right ones for Gingerman. The sidewall of the front driver side tire took to much of a beating here. Any advice Pete?

Zero out your front toe or toe it out up to 0.50 degrees to improve turn in. Have Gerry at Rogers relieve your strut slots and go -2.20 degrees camber.

Your starting cold tire pressures should be 32 pounds cold. The front run at 42 hot and the rears at 40.

You'll love your tweaked alignment on track. After the session back it down to -1.5 camber and 0.00 toe to preserve tire life.

Looks like I was caught during my tiger claw pre-track ritual OR I was just putting my seat belt on to impress my friends with safety!

Thanks for posting the videos and pictures....I know Joe takes a ton, but I still haven't even seen the ones from Grattan last month!

I had a good time, my student didn't make me sick this time and the cars made it home in one piece.
