With bias ply tires I use 3/4 neg, 1/16 toe in with 600# Springs a 1.5 hollow
adjustable sway bar and a Lincoln Locker. I have a slight bit of oversteer.
Always run take-off tires from higher level drivers. (thanks Sam)
I do use a probe type pyrometer.
Car is 2160 to 2200 as raced.
>From what I saw last spring Tony doesn't spend enough time on the ground to
build much heat into his tires.:-)
How much does the TR250K weigh anyway?
