Wow!! All those photos bring back a flood of great memories. For me the Group 44 pic of Tulius in the TR-7 with their iconic paint scheme is the most vivid of all. Boy did I love Group 44 back in the days when racing in the SCCA North East Region was their main objective.

JC,
I don't know about curing front end grip issues, but that's one sure way to kill your top end speed for sure.
