We have plans to get some track tires for the SPF, and probably make some camber adjustments. I really think it will make a substantial difference in how the car feels on track...and hopefully get rid of the terrible understeer.

Jeff:

Thanks for the passing on your experience. I'm going to raise your points with Dennis Olthoff (who's preparing the car). I'm hoping that we'll have a chance to bring the car to VIR soon so as to sort out handling issues, and your suggestions would be a good place to start. Thanks!
