Track alignment

[Quadcammer]

I'm personally of the camp that I don't want any rear toe out.

I run a touch of toe out up front for crisp turn in, and likewise have a touch of toe in for the stability in the rear.

For me, using toe out to get stability under heavy braking doesn't make sense. Generally in a straight line rear axle stability is not an issue under braking and when i'm trailbraking, I want the rear to come around, so I'm not really seeing the benefit. I'm no alignment expert, but I've been quite pleased with my setup as described above.

I am in total agreement.

I personally don't like toe out in the front, tested, my preference is no toe. Toe "in" in the front is for folks that want to take their hands off the wheel and talk on their cell phone.

For the rear - Some toe "in" makes your car planted on corner exit. I run zero in a Spec Box per Brad Roberts. No problem if you run a little toe "in" but I might be 1/3 a car ahead of you at the end of the straight or ... not.

indeed, I'm talking about very minor amounts on each (i'd have to go back to look at my measurements, but I believe I aim for 1mil toe out in front per side and 1 mil toe in per side in the rear). All a matter of preference at that point.

I came across this: Track Alignment - Race & Track Driving (formerly Win HPDE)

It touches on a number of alignment concepts that have been brought up in this thread.
