Default DIY Alignment Threads?

Can someone please point me to the best / stickiest thread(s) for info on checking / adjusting alignment on my C6? I've done enough track time (and grass / dirt time) that I really want to verify my current alignment and learn how to adjust for a mild track setup without going to a speed shop - if it is reasonably doable for the weekend mechanic type.

Someone mentioned David Farmer's site on another thread, but it is shut down. Does YouTube have any good tutorials for our cars?

Thanks in advance -- you guys are always a wealth of knowledge!

David Farmer has had his information linked off his FaceBook page for some time now. Here's the Alignment guide many of us use.
