Well, I did say a spec, not unlimited ;-). Something around 1 to 1.5 degree
for all cars would make it interesting IMHO. I'd race against any M3 with
1.5 in AS :-).

Camber gages are not that expensive, and the nat office could have one for
checking at the NT's and Pro's. Using a delta measure unit, calibration
isn't an issue. . Heck, we have scales, why is this different?. If a car
is found to be out of spec, the looser could defend using another gauge,
like their own maybe. In any event, it's not that much different than
measuring spring perch heights and the such that is done now.
