Is there anything to this? LRP is a funny little track being almost all right turns. Is there much benefit of aligning the car differently? And how would you? I would assume a little more camber and ride height on the left - a little less on the right and maybe a bit of wedge? Thoughts?

We run very different settings right to left at LRP. You HAVE to get to a test day at every track you run at and determine the 'settings' for that venue.

You mean that oval track in the NW of CT?
Um, yes, lots of guys run completely asymetrical setups, including 4 different springs, and shock, corner weight and alignment settings.
Testing can be very benificial. (Well they tell me it can...)

For those of us without an alignment machine and corner scales at LRP, would anyone care to suggest some settings? On my MR2 I currently run:
2.5 deg negative camber all around
0 toe front, slight toe in for the rear
Stock caster. Equalized ride height and 50/50 corner weights with me in the car.

Jake,
You don't need an alignment machine...you need a pyrometer. Can you adjust your settings yourself via camber plates? If you can, you need to know what temps your car is running and why. Then you can adjust to optimum at all 4 corners. The only one who would be able to suggest settings for you is someone with the same car and they would have to know your spring rates to get close.

Hey Jake, Try standing your RF tire up. And a little more Negative camber on the left front. Since this is what i have been told by the fast guys.It seems ta work. We have probably run together at some point,my ride is the Blue "C" Rabbit.....good luck and hope for a short winter!.... John
Jake Buddy pal. When are you putting your EMRA tapes on your sight. Got to see spinning SR2`s.
Set the car up for australian stock car racing. Pos camber in front right,put all the weight in the right rear. Wait all your weight is in the rear Duh. Hey real nice job on the enduro.12th close but no cigar.Next year.

Scott, sorry to break your heart - but there are no EMRA LRP tapes. I spent so much time bolting the car back together, getting my exhaust back on, tightening the alternator, cutting my fender away from the wheel, and trying to straighten out my suspension, I never had the chance to set up the camera. How was I supposed to know that I'd have my best race ever?
