How often do you get alignments to your DD autocross car?
I think I've finally come to the conclusion that an alignment every 2-3 months just isn't enough for my car durring the autocross season.
My alignment settings when done are usually 1.8 front camber, .7 rear camber and zero toe front and rear, because it's also my daily driver. But after just one or two autocrosses the car feels different and my MX daily tires take a bit of a beating in the inside.
I gathered my alignment sheets to determine what has been going on before the car is aligned. My car starts to toe out between alignments. Is this the same for you? And do you think it might be a good idea to have a bit of toe in durring the alignment so the car goes back to zero between alignments?
Maybe I should just get more alignments........
I run Hoosiers durring autocrosses if that helps. Thanks for any help!

On my S2K, i get an alignment done before i go to the track and then another when I get back. I'm glad NTB has unlimited alignments for 1, 3, or 5 yrs. I have the 3 yrs but prob will only use it once more. I paid 160 for it and have gotten 10+ alignments done. I got my moneys worth.

I went about once a month during the season last year, the alignment package at NTB definitely paid for itself. Unfortunately the good alignment tech left so I'm stuck looking for a new place.

I can align my own car at work, so I do it whenever I feel like it.
I dunno about specs changing between alignments though, because I haven't been able to go long enough without wrecking the car into something (and throwing off the alignment) to be able to track such things.
