Default alignment question

sorry if this is a repost but I did try to search and didn't find anything relevant. I just had a quick question about alignment for auto-xing. My alignment is off (it pulls to the right a fair amount).

My question is whether or not this will make a significant difference in my turning speed/ability. Also, is the effect (if tehre is one) amplified by rain (as predicted for tomorrow morning). So essentially, should I run my car tomorrow or just sit this one out?

thanks in advance!

o and this is on a 92 non-posi camaro if that matters any

Your question is to broad to give you a real answer. There are two many things that could pull your car. Not just your alignment. Caster can cause a pull. Camber can cause a pull. Tires can cause a pull. Brakes can cause a pull. But yes your aligment being off will effect your turning to speed/ability. You should swap the front tires and make sure its not tire pull. I would start there.
