Car rotation?
Last weekend was my first AX event in the NC. I was happy with how the car handled, but it didn't seem to want to rotate as easily as I would have liked.
What kind of things affect rotation, or lack there of?
What is your current setup?
M3 is always the answer.
That's bus lot. Get more rear bar
VW Bug in running shoes
M Porcupine sedan
M Porcupine coupe
Crusty old e46 beater
Battery Powered appliance car
Big rear bar (Progress). Koni, single adjustable shocks w/stock springs...full-hard in front, 1-turn off full-hard in back. RE71R's at 30PSI all around.
Do you have the "hot" alignment for the NC for autocross? I have no idea what that would be.
I would try mid-range on the front shocks and full hard on the rear.
On the track, I am fearless.
If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

^I was just about to update my post with 'haven't had an alignment done yet'. I have no idea where it's currently set.
What part of the corner do you need more rotation? Turn in? Exit?

^Exit. Those (2) tight decreasing radius turns last weekend.
For exit rotation, you would want to stiffen the rear of the car up. Either the shocks, air pressure, sway bars, etc. You could also run less toe-in in the back, although this could make it pretty twitchy in a straight line.

Thanks for the info. I'll have to experiment.
