Alan, are you referring to the current-edition Kit Car Magazine article by Dean Lampe and his RCR40? If so, that article has recently been discussed on this forum - do a search for "bump steer" as that is the subject of the article.

As you probably know, adjustment for bump steer is just one of many tuning adjustments for a race-level chassis. That article doesn't go into detail on the full range of considerations such as camber and castor, spring and damping rates, CG, tire/wheels, etc. as doing so would undoubtedly take several hundred pages at least!

Good luck with pulling together the tuning data for an SPF. I'm sure there are many here that would love to not have to reinvent the wheel so when you do have the data then let it be known!
