I noticed an Evo took out a flag station or some other substantial looking structure on the longer straight at Jefferson last Friday. Didnt see much of it as I was instructing, but it didn't look very good. It was raining hard that day.

Yup, corner worker had to make a jump to escape. They just dragged the remains of the flag station over and dumped it into the woods. One of the bonuses to working at SP is hearing all the crazy stories that happen.

Instead of the pain to install SPC joints, has anyone tried or heard about the godspeed rear toe camber adjuster?

I ended up getting rid of my TCDesign rear bumpsteer kit due to having to shed points.

Add'lly, ANY change to the OEM ball joint gets assessed. Here is my quoting of rules in the other thread:
From Page 27 in the CCR for Time Trials under Suspension:
19) Alteration of ball joints/dive angles +2
This is my unofficial take on the rules: If a part is not oem or exactly like oem, it must be assessed. If it is NOT assessed in the rules, the part is not legal for use. The fact that said part also increases possible camber is a slam dunk for a points assessment. There is no "free" add'l camber for the S2000, non-adjustable or not.
Under No Points Mods on Page 30, it clearly states that such a part is NOT a "no-point" mod:
1) Simple camber, caster, and toe adjustment by any method that does not alter suspension
mounting points (unless the modification used is otherwise assessed points above--such as
control arm, ball joint, and relocated mounting point modifications). Slotting of the OEM
bolt holes and removal of material from the top surface of the OEM strut/shock tower to the
extent necessary to allow simple camber/caster adjustment is permitted.). Bolt on
camber/caster plates are not assessed points.

Not sure if you were talking directly to me, but I put stock arms back on after the whole SPC deal and did not notice a handling difference.
