I raised the rear of my car, to change the camber from waaaay negative (guessing -3) to about -1.

I went out yesterday and it's like night and day. Where there was once obvious over steer, there is now more balanced cornering. Now I have to really throttle-induce the over steer which is actually how I like it.

This is great having all of these adjustments on a car. =-) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)

1 in 20 chance my 914 will be put back together. While trying to figure out one problem, I just tore into another upgrade... but if I work a lot this week it may all get done. Once I'm rollin I can't wait to race again. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Not sure. It will depend on the weather, my fair-weather car doesn't like the rain. My f/g deck lids aren't done yet, but I am anxious to check out the new front suspension and added neg camber to the rear! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

just get a good set of rain gear Bill (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

weather report has gone back and forth from clouds to sun to showers....so until we get closer we are still guessing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I will be there regardless, since I am course designer and have to be there for set up.
If it is wet, I will probably run the old Hankook 211s, they still have deeper grooves than the brand new 710s.
Keep the new 710s for a sunny day.

My experience has been that one-week away they are gonna get the weather forecast wrong, for sure. I'll need good weather both Friday and Sat. I'd be coming up Friday and spend the night. It's too far, too early, too dark to drive Sat morning. I'll probably be there...just don't know if the teener will be there. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Dan, I have a thought.

Do I need to be a member of the PCA to play on Saturday? (Like some had to join the Empire Car Club for last years Ramble A/X)

Thanks,

Dan,

My teener is in no shape to AX, but if Justin and I make the trek out, can I have a ride in your 2056?(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Unforturnately, when two people are in a car on course, one of the people must be an instructor. The other rule is that both persons must be registered, paid, participants.
This was done years ago due to the insurance that we have from PCA National.

sorry, being the competition director and also the safety chair for all competitive events, I have to make sure we follow the rules. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I didn't mean on the track, I meant just a ride anywhere.... I'm trying to figure out what size engine I want to build and have not had a chance to ride in a 2056 yet.

Had the red car repaired, it's just about perfect, just needs some bodywork now. I'll be there anyways, even if the rear fenders look kinda funny.
