You must remember that these cars really aren't all that well suited to 
road racing in stock trim. They do lean and wallow a bit. If you add 
some sway bars and other suspension goodies you can get them to perform 
better on the corners. 

I believe Don Dulmage at one point had given us some tips on setting up 
the front end at home with measurements. Your tire wear will tell the 
tale of alignment,shocks, balance too. Also if it pulls to one side or 
the other. I take mine in to an old timer and he seems to do a good job 
as it runs straight and the tires wear well.
