Started with 3 degree neg and 2.5 degree castor to see how it handles...can change it pretty quick on the Friday night of the meeting if we have to. Pretty low speed stuff the first meeting.
3mm toe out as well. Stuckey says 3-4 deg neg for the Dunlop slicks

The car looks TOPS on the back of the truck! You should paint the truck in the same livery as the car!
