Unfortnatley this round is for my dad. I'll prob jump in and ride shotgun for a couple of laps. I just got the alignment dialed in at Roger Krause, its night and day from before. Hey do you happen to have a shift ball I can borrow. I have a Roush handle coming in today but I need a ball to go with it.

Your lucky your close to Roger Krause they' re really into racing, that alignment is going to make a big difference on turn in and braking. Wish they were a little closer to me

jay...hit me up. You can borromw my shift ball but I'll need it back since I dont have anything to replace it with. Just curious, but why does it need a "ball" to work [Confused]


Also, what kind of alignment did you get? Track alignment? Do you know yor numbers? I'm trying to decide if I want to go to Roger Kraus or to Custom Alignment.

Ineed a ball for the Roush shifter beacause a regular knob wont work or feel right.

I went with -2.5 camber. They also adjusted the panhard bar to get it dead center, within 1/16". It was $150 but it was worth it. Now that I got the alingment dialed in, I'm going to buy a camber gauge so I can adjust it myself.

I missed the drifting event but smelled all the burning tires. I got stuck at the end of the track by the car show it was very crowded since it was the last event of the year.
Filmed 2 sessions and my best time I got Saturday was a 1:53.3 .
