Default Rear camber for track event at lrp

I am planning on a track event in my '94 GSR at Limerock in a couple weeks and would like input on how much rear camber is best.
As of now i have -1.5 to -2 degrees in front, and i shimmed out the rear to -0.5 degrees. other mods are eibach sportlines, koni yellows, progress 22mm rear bar.

as a novice you probably have no concept of what a high speed turn really is - no offense, but its just something you have to learn, or possibly a stupidity you have to acquire.

Is this the SCDA event? They have very good instructors for you to work with.

Just make sure your car is prepped for a track day, and then work with the instructor on the driver skills. LRP is a fun little track with short run offs in a few of the corners.

The event is a time trial on June 26th with Connecticut Autocross & Rally Team, Inc. (C.A.R.T.) is anyone else going to this event?

Just be aware that CART events are not instruction events. They are a little unorganized from what I hear and they don't have SCCA workers, they have wifes and friends come. Just a FYI, not meant to scare you.
