For most racers and enthusiasts, a wheel alignment is something that you seldom ponder, especially when it comes to performance. After all, horsepower has become cheap and easy to get. And wheel alignments–well, those are for keeping your tires from wearing out, not adding performance.
Or are they?
For some racers (a good example is an NHRA Stock Eliminator competitor), finding performance by adding more and more power isn’t usually an option. Most of those cars are maxed out power-wise by the rule book. Because of this, racers look for every possible advantage–even ones found outside of the engine compartment. One place to look is the front end.
