  1. Less than 500 street miles, 2 autoX days with 9 runs total. Went back to BFG's. One had a nail repair done by Discount. It also has a nick in the rubber at the bead in the same pic. I don't know if it was there before of after the final dismount.  Only have 2 tires. Free. Cross streets are 67th St and Thunderbird.

    I made a string box jig setup a few years ago. With this method you can set your toe individually.

     

    This is how I do the rear toe except on weighted stands that bump to the body. Once I know the rear is equal I will use boards but without stringing you wouldn't know, one side can be 1/16 out, the other 3/16 in and with boards you think you are 1/8 total in.

    That's good to know that you've never had a professional one done! True that most shops won't adjust it to do anything other than drive straight unless they're given specifications. I had the same thought to adjust the tie rods for toe to center the wheel. I'll get some plates, give this a try and see what happens.

    Use a sharpie on the tie rod end and steering rod. When you break it loose, it may/will rotate more than you think. If it's marked you'll know where you started how much it rotated and how much to go. You're not off much and may only need a 1/4" turn to get that back.

  4. I've never had a professional alignment. I use some home made toe plates. I string it up before adjusting the rear.  Once you have the tools, it's pretty easy.

    If you do it yourself, assuming your rack is on the front and you aren't far off, you may find you can toe out the DS tie rod to center the steering wheel while adding a little more toe out. A shop may toe in the PS tie rod. Either would fix it but most that AX prefer to run the least amount of toe in. When you do it yourself, you decide.

  5. AMP road coarse has good run off. Real low chance of hitting anything compared to PIR or Firebird main coarse(Wildhorse now?). I have collector car insurance with a mileage and use limit that wouldn't cover this and don't even worry about the AMP road coarse.

    Speaking of reduced capacity, any word on when restrictions will lift? I work in the car business and one of the auctions here in town has been allowing people in person to bid for over a month now...600-800 people show up and are indoors each week (masked up of course). Also I know the Coyotes are allowing like 3500 fans to games, so seems like big events are slowly getting back to normal.

    Thanks in advance, hope to see you all out there in a couple weeks.

    I'm curious when it will be lifted too.

    And you are aware of the SCCA approved list of helmet ratings for Solo, right? Never hurts to make sure.😉 There was recently another thread that reviewed those choices.

    Yes, thanks for the heads up. I was looking for a SA2020. I know a M2020 is ok but prefer an open face and most are full. The motorcycle helmets are a little less expensive.

     

    I tried Ridenow, there search function isn't functioning. I'll probably order a Conquest from Jeg's or Summit.
