I have fully adjustable front and rear. All the settings in the front were off soo all set back now. Rear was good. It helped with the going right but did not get rid of it completely. But what little bit that is left is not a problem compaired to how it was.

What did they find? Was it way off? If you have stock suspension, all you have available to adjust is front toe....

The part that goes to the wheel was maxed out on the smaller size. It was fun as the previous car had 22" wheels it was used on.

Tires or different tires and wheels made no difference.

WillieB, be sure to check the tie bar at the very front, I've had the nut on the front come loose. I used to use a nylock, now I double nut them.

Dan did you ever cross rotate the front tires to see if the pull moved with them?

I won't be able to do the CMU run this year, but I'm hoping to make the one the following Oct. as long as it's not in Wytheville again. BTDT too many times now.

I have the opposite problem, inno pulls right at speed. All the time, no matter what adjustments I've made.

Getting the moke ready for the CMU event drives in April. Moke dives to the right when taking foot off the gas so time to take a look at the alignment. I am sure things have setteled in now that I have 2000 miles on it. Hope the weather stays nice for driving the moke.

It was an exciting race.  I hope we going to get some good racing this year and not have one team run away with it.

Albert Park is not very representative for the year as the surface is very abrasive compared to the majority of the circuits.

Lewis certainly was not a fan of his new race engineer being in his ear a lot.

I like the blanket.

I got it from that guy Dr Doolin a few years ago, I think I paid maybe $50 which I thought was crazy for a shipping blanket with a hole in it, but I see now he sells them for $95!

You'll be driving it this weekend!   

I think maybe 20 more hours the way I do things, I can only steal a little time here and there. My contractors bay is 10 miles from my house, so everything starts with a 15 min drive.
