These are super. Lindsey catches the cars right at the best angle around the cones. :thumbsup:

Great photos! Anyone else notice that my car seems to have severe positive camber on the rear wheels under load in almost all the pictures? Something doesn't seem right there. Might be an explanation why I sucked so bad. Not sure what might be wrong as I just had it aligned a couple months ago and there isn't really anything to slip.

Thanks Lindsey! I always enjoy looking over your photos.

Les, Your camber reminds me of the 70's era Dodge I was behind the other day, positive camber on the loaded wheel and neutral to negative on the unloaded one! It looks pretty drastic on your car also, to the tune of a couple degrees. On the excuses scale, thats a pretty good one. If it was my car I would use it :thumbsup:

Thank Lindsey for her pictures. Check out the new avitar. Boy does that Miata lean into a corner. At least I have 3 good contact patches with the Hoosiers. YeeHa!

The Vette doesn't lift its wheel in turns. You will see that at the end of the month

Well my 4 year old camber arms with poly bushings are shot, the inside joint flops around like a wet noodle, time to add more heim jointed suspension pieces to the rear suspension of the car. I'm not sure how much time dynamic camber from negative to positive2 degrees is worth, but it has to be worth something, hopefully like 6 seconds. :D

Might explain why I had such hard time keeping the back end behind me here:

Maybe not 6, but I bet more than 1sec on a 60 sec course.
