Is there any place in town that carries VHT Track Bite? (PJ1). If not who will ship it up here by the gallon? Thanks!

Not for sure Will, but you might check with Hale's. Also the track uses VHT on race days. Rick

Thanks, Ill give them a call. I did check with Underground, they dont have any but are looking into trying to get some. Right now I have a new "issue" that just came up. Went to get alligned and cant get the camber to zero, let alone -.5 or so. Got some Spohn strut mounts in today, we shall see if that gives me enough more adjustment. If not I need to take out the stiff springs that are in it now and put something with a bit more give and lower it a little.
Thanks again!
Will

Gave both Hale's and HP a call with no luck. Not the end of the world. Good news is I think the new strut towers gave me some good negative camber now. With a level and a ruler it looks like I can have up to 5/8" negative camber on each side (very scientific method of measurement on a garage floor, LOL) We will see what it looks like on the machine on monday, get it set to spec and hopefully go straight on the 12th.

A soft spring up front isn't a bad thing. It helps with weight transfer.

Found it. AK Mining and Diving can get it to the store in 5 days. $59.00 plus $8.00 shipping for PJ1 Trackbite. My idea with this is to try to bring back to life some 7 year old slicks that have no use on them and a bit dried out. (minus my three "drives" down the track last Sunday)

Thinking that studs may be a better move at this point instead of track bite. LOL
