i'm doing better and better, but i know i can go faster.

at the AX on saturday, demick and i were shooting tire temps. just as i thought, my fronts were significantly hotter on the outside than the inside. i don't remember the exact numbers (though IIRC they ranged from 80-95 deg F), but the disparity was significant enough that i'd like to dial in more neg. camber.

thanks (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif) n
