    Last time we went to Indy we did 80 so I could show Mrs. Sprucemica my family's hometown in PA. Thinking about 90 out this time and 80 back as we'd like to go to Frank Lloyd Wright's Falling Water south of Pittsburgh on our way back.

    2 ways.
    Add longer shim bolts to the upper control arm or weld an extension to the lower spindle.
    Can’t remember which way we went with this one…

    That tire would be perpendicular to the track in the corner.

    Old circle track car, when they're up on the banking with the suspension loaded, and hiking the front left off the ground it will have a perfect contact patch for more traction/control. (Correct me if I'm wrong @Tacoma Mike )

    Perfect Explanation.
    If the tire “over centers” the strain on the suspension quadruples. If just breaks shit.
    And contact patch rolls to the sidewall. Again, breaks shit. The car for sure is going into the wall. More shit to fix.

    And this car carried the lf tire.
