Basically, set the car up w/ the camber plates set to zero. Have an alignment shop set the car to something like -1.2f/-1.2r, .5 deg toe in front, zero toe rear. Then at the track, jack the front end up and go -1.5 or -2 more degrees in the front. Because the way the tie-rods are designed, adding negative camber will toe out the front wheels. So you will get around -3 deg front camber, a little front toe out (you'll have to learn to drive a car that's a little darty under braking), and -1.2/zero toe rear.
That's a pretty great compromise... for just a little work before the event adjusting the camber plates, you'll gain a ton on turn-in, much better front tire wear (on both the track and the street), and more ultimate cornering grip.

Interesting Scott. Will that hold true even though my car isn't dropped as much as most?
