Uh just thought of this as I was setting up my car....  does anyone have a tweek board I can use at the track?  I forgot the communal board will be in Cleavland....

I won't speak for others, but I do know many regular racers have their own tweak boards.

However, provided you don't want to ask those people, there are other very effective ways to adjust tweak.

1)  Adjust the tweak by how your car handles.  If it's loose to the right, there's too much weight on the left rear wheel.  If it's loose to the left, there's too much weight on the right rear.

2)  Mark a center point on your pod at the back, preferably on the lower plate.  Lift the rear of your car by this center point (for example, with a knife edge).  Whichever rear wheel leaves the tabletop first has too little weight on it.  This method works on pan cars, but it doesn't work on cars with independant suspension on the end that you lift (hence why it works on the back of pan cars, but not the front, and why it doesn't work on touring cars).

And there is no communal board; that's Craig's personal board that he lets other people use so that he can see his own car in his pit space, rather than a line continuously using the communal soldering gun, and communal pinion gears, etc.

there are a couple others at the track...........so it all depends on weather your there competition
