Tonda and I are signed up for the afternoon session (in the FRS). This will be the first endurocross for both of us too.

Here are my two endurocross videos. First run was pretty wet, second run it started to dry out and I was 19s faster.

My last alignment showed -1.3 on the right and -.7 on the left. I'm thinking about buying a couple used left control arms to see which will yield the most camber.


Related question. My stock endlinks recently went bad. They are still holding but just noisy. The obvious choice would be to upgrade to spl but many people say they can be noisy which I'm not okay with. Has anyone found a more street friendly solution or found a way to make the spl work?

For what its worth the car never gets driven in bad weather so if that's what it takes to keep the spl cherry that's cool.

Were you in the driver's seat when the camber measurement was taken? Driver weight can/will yield different readings than when the car is empty.

I won the Dixie Champ Tour in B Street this past weekend!

Managing the awful stock VLSD was the main challenge with 2 very tight hairpin turns, plus slight kinks at the starting line where other cars are not affected. The car has to be pointed straight to put power down.
