John et al,
I just got back from an RMVR event at  Second Creek Raceway in Denver this 
weekend, in lieu of Vegas. I found my car pushed a bit especially in tight, 
low speed turns, with an impression similar to yours that turning-in more had 
little effect. In higher speed sweepers, though, it was neutral and very 
controllable, especially with throttle on. Didn't feel much throttle off 
oversteer. Here's my suspension setup, subject to change:
Front               Left             Right
Camber            -0.9             -1.0       Most negative I could get
Caster               2.6               2.9      Most I could get 
Toe                   1/16              1/16

Rear  
Camber              -1.2               -1.1
Toe                       0                   0
Thrust angle                    -0.03
  
I found tire pressure in my R1s had a great effect. My first run was set at 
21F, 23R, and the car was very difficult to control. 21/21 was better, but 
23F/21R made it more neutral. Suggestions welcome!!! Jeff Garvin
