NoThat's how you fuck up a FWD car. Sorry, driven a set up like this and it's garbage. All you are doing is reducing overall grip instead of focusing on how to fix the front.
With old tires, all you are doing is guessing at setup, that's why you only test on brand new tires.
Spencer has good knowledge base, follow his effort. That said, as you know to go from where you are to the front of the mid-pack is all driving. Setup is only seperating the front from the front of mid-pack.
there are 2-3 (2 rookies and a second year driver) of us knocking on the door of the mid pack. I have the least seat time of all of us in our cars... so I know that will help. I also know learning "race craft" will help.
I'd like to set a good baseline, so that's really the goal now. I checked the comp school box, now to make "small" adjustments to the car between events, and concentrate on the driver as I set the baseline and develop (car and driver).
Once I move the weight around in the car (goal after hyperfest) I'll hit you up on that offer.

I gave Spencer the complete run down... he said I'm "in the ball park" but made some suggestions, in order to try, to help out.
I'm just not too trilled going down the "set of tires every 3 weekends" route ... I'm so cheap
