If your asking me if I was sweating my ass off as I twisted wrenches underneath my car in 100 plus temps then yes, very easy

Just so ya know - I've always had all my wheels on the track even when I spun it in turn 9...

I can only imagine how greasy it was out there today. OMG.... Way too hot! The oil would have been oozing out it.


How hot were YOU??
Thanks Greg. To be honest the heat wasn't really that bad. It was a really dry heat and it didn't really effect me......but then again I am pretty acclamated to the heat since I spend most my time in the field. Track was slick but with the right set of shocks I could have adjusted for it. I believe the shocks I was using were inconsistent.

Curious why you went 1/16 toe in?
I've been playing around with my alignment just to see how the car reacts. Last time out I was 1.8 neg camber, 1/32 pos toe, and 7.2 castor. The temps on the outside of front tires were 7* higher than the inside.
This time around I went with 2.5 neg camber, 8.5 pos castor, and 1/16th pos toe. Outside tire temps dropped 4 degrees.
I think the shuttering of the wheel was due to the toe setting but i still need to get under there and take a look.
