Like Erik said, if you are running bias ply you want a little less camber than a on a radial. I didn't know you had Street TD's. I run those on the GTA and have the alignment set at -1.5 to -1.75 depending on the track, caster is at +3, and toe is at 1/16.

race tires

well, think I may just burn up the TD's before going to something else.
Depends on how the Speedsters run, or which groups I end up playing with the GTV in. I like the 14's, they are light, look good, obviously lower. May look for something more in a real race slick type tire for those and use the Speedsters on 15's for vintage runs to be legal. Probably a different thread, but any thoughts on true race tires out there, what works, sticks well, last 5- 6 weekends..

Peter,
Thanks for showing me around Thunderhill. The Verde suprised me considering the crappy tires. Next time better tires and brakes. Anyway it was a blast and I'll be back, probably after Summer heat is gone. Thanks again and I'll see you out there...

Just spent 109° weekend @ willow springs (Three weeks ago @ Parhumpf @ 111°) Thunder Hill is an ice berg by comparison!

Jr c, it is not so much the heat, but my job that prevents me from taking off time during the week to play. I work for JCI as a Hvac tech and were doing 6 day a week right now. By the time that's over ( the day ) I really don't want any more heat anyway.
