I spent the day dialing in the Falcon for the SCCA event next Sunday.

My front suspension is adjustable in every aspect and really allowed me to dial in the characteristics I will be trying this time.

I pulled in a little more caster and adjusted the suspension for more clearance with the inner fender. I also spent a lot of time measure my dynamic camber changes during turning. I now have 1 degree of negative camber gain at full steering angle. I ended up around 8.5 degree of caster and 2.5 degrees of negative camber. 8:1 manual steering is kinda tuff. Oh well I guess I will workout a little next week.

Tomorrow I will nut and bolt everything and the car will be ready for the 21st. See all the san diego guys out there!

The falcon did really good yesterday. I finished 3rd in SU and 2nd in pro-touring. (.070 seconds behind rich in his 69 mustang).

The car felt great, all of the front end push was gone. The rear shocks were noticeable bad ( I knew there was no compression dampening at all). I was getting wheel hop on acceleration as the car would hit the bump on full compression then oscillate violently. Also the car was porpoiseing over the bumps. I think some fine tuning and new shocks and I will competitive.

I will post video and pics tonight.

It was actually a lot of fun. The 8:1 steering with only 1.75 turns lock to lock keep the car pointed in the right direction.
