Just dropping by for a little update.
Haven't done much to the car but put some more miles on it. Think its around 2,400 or so now (mostly hard miles ).
I did bump the ride height in the front about 3/4" and a 1/2" in the back. Amazing how different it feels and looks. I liked it better low, but I was cutting the front Rivals under hard cornering on the outer fender lip. I also did some experimenting with more static camber, -2.5 degrees...it was just too much. I was loosing a lot of contact patch under braking/dive. It helped with tire clearance, but that was about it. It's back now to -1 degree static. Also, with a sway bar end link adjustment for clearance, I was able to get another 1/2 or so degrees of castor in it, still need more but I can't get it with stock spindles....something I'm hoping to take care over the winter break.

So as October now is in full swing, the season is almost over
Got one more event scheduled and it's this weekend, Day at the Strip in Lawrenceville, IL. Two days of autox, hope it's more of a technical course than the GG Indy one was. I'm sure it will be as I've been to the Midwest Musclecar Challenge with my Camaro earlier this year at the same venue.

Hopefully end the season with a whole bunch more seat time. Even planning on letting the wife try a few runs to keep her interest up and tide her over until we can get here Vette back together next year.
