Aluminum Flag System for chassis setup

"Universal" Flag System

I made this flag system based off of Steve Lathrops method for chassis setup.

Use it for camber/toe and ride height.

No need for a level setup to use a flag system as it uses the chassis as a reference instead of level ground.

$125 plus shipping. Top bar is about 5' or so long and so shipping could be $30+ depending on location?

A great Racing Investment

Tinkering around in the race shop today, and watching a bit of Nascar and F1 qualifying, while also reading the thread on F1600 start-up costs, got me to thinking...

Looking back over the last 17 years I have come to believe that one of the best investments I made in racing was to attend two ICP Seminars. Back in 2003 and 2004 Sean O'Connell (carnut169) had the sense and forethought to go to the trouble to host ICP seminars in Atlanta. Both the '03 and the '04 seminars were put on with both Richard Pare and Steve Lathrop as the instructors/presenters.

What a ton of head-spinning info was presented in each of the two day seminars. I am sure many times my eyes glazed over. In spite of my cast iron head, somehow many concepts stuck.

My speed and finishing percentage improved from that point forward. While maybe never fully reaching the complete attention to detail those two professed, it did vastly improve my set-up and prep work. I noticed in my records that after those seminars I raced something like 55 times without a DNF. I have to credit that record to the prep work done in the shop before I loaded the car, and the work done in the paddock between sessions, such that they drilled in at the seminars.

As an aside it also made watching coverage of many motor racing events mush more enjoyable because I even today spot little engineering nuances in the broadcasts.
