Ok you pretty much want your tire to be 0 camber while sliding so when the car rolls the weighted tire is 0. Say you drifting a right turn, the weight transfers to the side so the negative camber turns into closer to 0 and the unweighted wheel gets more camber but is not really affected due to the no weight. Pretty much steering with %90 the 1 weighted wheel and the other %10 dosent matter as much (percentages are no %100 accurate btw ) I that makes any sence to you. Look at a drag car with independent rear suspension. Agent the car squats camber gets more negative so the adjust a little positive or a lot depending of the the weight of the car,how soft/stiff the rear suspension is and how much the car squats. It's really about car setup and spension tuning. My car with all the weight in front dosent roll as much as an sr 240 so I don't need alot of camber. 1.9 to 2.1 is usally what it's at depending on the track speeds and If I'm not to lazy to go change it

O and also on tech tracks you don't want as much because it only will flatten out while sliding and will promote dreaded understeer when not

when you have a legit suspension setup, you have a good amount of squat.
Running zero camber at no load, will produce a bit of camber loaded in drift.
on stupid ass S-chassis cars and non doubly a arm cars, you get like gnarly gnarly cambetr at full lock with gnarly steering mod. The more vamver you run, the less it will be at full lock in drift(where you want to de in drift in ocmpotetions.)
Some people run postivie camber in the rear so that when their car swautes it will produce zero to a slight bit of negative.
does that make any sense?

better front traction and contact patch at full lock it you notice cars with spindles some at full lock the wheels look straight up and down where with not proper camber they look like they are running retard caster and the wheels gonna fall off. raffi had this problem when he first put on the knuckles.
