The car seems well planted.
    I need to install the rear fender well splash guards as I have a ton of crap that was thrown around. Also need to install the under the engine aluminum.
    Hey Tony,
    That +6 caster is going to give you a workout. I know Jim and John George are possibly looking at power steering.
    The -1.8 camber is a good starting point. I'm running -1.0F and -1.5R with a camber gain of 1* per inch of bump. It's working great with our Toyo R888.
    I've been running this season without the splash panels and no aero. No issues.

    I run +9 caster on my challenge car so I know the issues, so that is why I only went to +6 with manual steering, I may have to back that down a little but I wanted to start high and see how much I can take. I'm running -2.5 camber in rear, would like to get the front to that point also but it's going to take some additional mods to do that.

    I'm targeting August 4th at the Ridge for test and tune, not my choice of tracks for test & tune but PIR or PR don't have any days open. I need to figure out how I'm going to tie down the front of the car in the trailer, not sure yet, rear I will use the rims with straps.
