With zero confidence in the arms, something needed to be done. With the slip happening within a few laps, their was no way I could expect them to hold for a 30 minute sprint race. As my crew and I brain stormed easy remedies such as sanding the clamping surface and lock tight on the bolts, I made the call that something more drastic and permanent needed to be done.
My crew and I carefully inspected the issues causing the slippage and concluded there were two factors. One being the curve of the knuckle arm was making contact with a certain section of the arm adding a strange leverage onto the sliding adjustment plate. The other factor being, since Project EF runs DA Integra knuckles, the knuckle arm itself is slightly taller, which causes the upper arm to articulate higher under compression. Past a certain point of travel, the combo of the knuckle arm hitting the bottom portion of the camber arm and the angle the camber arm itself sits, caused the slippage no matter how tight the bolts were. 
With both arms off, my crew and I covered all the bases. As my father pictured above ground a notch for the knuckle arm so contact was avoided, my crew guys took the other arm to one of the on site shops to have the sliding adjustment plate welded together to the arm itself at max negative camber, which was where my alignment had been set at anyway. We did these modifications to both arms and barely got the car back together in time to make it to grid for the race. I can't thank my crew enough for their help. 
Martin Gonzales ended up missing warm-up and qualifying Saturday morning. I don't blame him considering at 8pm the Friday before the weekend Martin had the G20 on the dyno breaking in the new engine that he had built and and dropped into the engine bay just a few days prior. Huge props for this dedication and the engine ended up performing reliably. After all, missing the early sessions Saturday morning didnt really make much difference since the skies opened up and the rain fell come race time. Maybe Martin had it right all along saving the car.
This race weekend for Martin was a huge deal because he hadn't been to Big Willow for several years when a collision with another car in turn 9 during a race almost rendered Project G20 unsalvageable. So not only was it a feat getting the G20 race ready in time, it was important for him to drive on Big Willow to get “back on the horse”. 
Rain falling, and no windshield wipers or defroster to speak of. I waiting anxiously in grid for my first race…which is now in the rain. But with the confidence in my equipment thanks to the “bang up job” of my crew, my past track experience on wet surfaces, and having the lowest torque output of the field. I was somewhat calm and composed. 
Justin in grid cool as a cucumber chatting with his brother Ethan. His calm demeanor pre race can probably be contributed to his killer qualifying pace and the fact he was the only car with windshield wipers.
