Track-day setup advice?

[WD40]

Agreed with all the above.
Setups will not only vary from driver to driver, car to car, but also track to track.

FWIW, my setup at Miller Motorsports Park:
Tire Pressures-(Cold, set just before gridding)
F-36
R-34
Dampers (AGX's)
F-3
R-8

My alignment was about dead on to what you're running.
I had 3/16" toe out on the front, (AutoCross setting) but dialed that out before I even hit the track.
I set it as close to 1/16" (toe out) as I could get it, short of throwing it on an alignment rack.

EDIT
There's a few tidbits of advice in this thread:

Edit - and Eibach swaybars, no monster rear bar or anything.

That is all you can get from the camber end without getting the adujstable camber bolt. Why do you have the front toe -out. Try setting the front at 0 and putting the rear at 1/16 of total toe. the rear will come around better.

Thanks for the advice everybody - all checked in and can't wait for the morning!

That would be because I had my car aligned to match yours

I'll think I'll start @ your pressures, and 3F/6R on the dampers to give myself a little room in both directions.

BTW - we use the NASCAR front stretch, banking through 1 and 2, and the back stretch - this is gonna be fun!

Have fun and remember...

KEEP THE SHINY SIDE UP !!!!

One last piece of advice.

Having run on courses with banking, stay in the throttle until you enter the braking zone and the pavement begins to flatten.

If you lift out too soon, the nose of the car tends to dip toward the inside and the rear will start to come around.

That's a pretty scary feeling at speed.

Good luck and take LOTS of pictures and videos!!!
