Default Getting ready for NCCAR

Just wondering.............................. I currently run wheel spacers. Should they be removed before making the trip to the track at NCCAR? I was rthinking that they would be subjected to greater amounts of stress due to the nature of them being raced. Any thoughts?

James I suggest removing them due to the camber/cornering stresses that will be placed on the car during laps.

The Crossfire Tech at Tate Chrysler suggested the following safety checks:

Change/Replace Brake Pads
Change/Replace/Top Off Oil
Replace/Top Off Brake Fluids
Check Performance of Sensors
DeCarb Service (Cleans carbon from intake valves/pistons)
Service Rear Differential (Install Royal Purple Synthetic Gear Lube)
Four Wheel Alignment
Drag Linkage Service

I'm having my vehicle "checked" first thing next week. LMK if you're interested.
