I certainly appreciate your comment on going this year. Unfortunately chasing elk in the mountains takes precedent this year over autocross. Several of my track friends go every year, and have been a wealth of information, including S550 guys. Also, I leave my wife with a one year old and what will be a three year old in Texas. I figure this year I have 6 months to tell her what I plan to do and get her mentally prepared haha!Welcome and don't wait till 2023 to come to Nationals, do it this year. The huge benefit is you will have seat time at Nationals to gauge, but much more importantly you will see what everyone is using , the tricks the fast guys employ, the recent advancement in tires ( there are late changes that one often finds out about ) and more. That way you won't pop up in 2023 and find out you were a year behind with some common changes in the Class. It may also help you validate what changes you want to make before you spend money only to find you should have done something else.
Trust me, going while still learning or modding your car is 100% positive and so much better than going the first time after everything is done and finding you should have gone a different direction.
I have learned this from being 1 mile, or 112 miles, or 60 miles from the various Solo Nationals sites over the past 41 years.

Thanks again for following, and I appreciate the feedback!
I am game for an elk hunting thread!Back to the Track Prep, I wonder how much the sound system weights. Looks like a quality install but if Im trying to cut weight etc...
What is the difference between SST and CAMC? I don't know their set up, but was chasing a number of newer GT350s in CAM-C out here.
I will let you know this weekend when I align it. I had to catch up with the AAD guys and get some stuff clarified. They have been great to work with. I got the camber arms, toe links, and verticals installed last night, and will have a better write up hopefully this weekend once it's all aligned. Between replacing those three, I am down about 5 lbs on each side too.Do you know what these toe-links have for an adjustment sensitivity? It's tough to feel anything less than a 0.5mm change at the rim. It's _really_ tough to feel less than 0.25mm. I am a picky bastard on that type of thing, though. I have the J&M toe links, which use a threaded adjuster, just so I can annoy myself by taking too long on the alignment.
I love the AAD Camber arms. Like you say, complete job done in 20 minutes, and small changes in camber affects toe negligibly. It's a cool design.
If I were to guess, I'd guess that AAD isn't done with their line. I expect to see front arms eventually.Just wait til u get SPL front control and torque arms…..
You are correct. Funny enough @AAD already reached out to me on their front arms. They are in development. I am looking forward to seeing what they come up with!If I were to guess, I'd guess that AAD isn't done with their line. I expect to see front arms eventually.
