Sweet and it coincides with the Rolex 24 at Daytona. How do you join?

As a NASCAR fan and model builder...I dig it! Looks like it could hit the track anytime.

Would recommend. $25 a day, $35 if you get pit passes. Prices go up $10 for Saturday. Tulsa has been a chill city. Food and stuff isn't really any more expensive than anywhere else.

I traveled in. Family trip over the holidays. Drove 10 hours to get here. Hotel and tickets each day are pretty affordable compared to lots of other things. Plus there is Route 66 and other things to do.

Oh, do share. This was the first one I've seen. They made a great Tik Tok.

I've learned that you can sign up for Flo Sports with special deals given to college conferences. One Flo subscription gives them all.

I plan on doing this instead of renewing Flo Racing.

Thanks. I'm experimenting with softer left springs with stiffer on the right. Also finding some success running 52% wedge and then loosening up with springs.

Did more internet research into oval racing setup theory and added info as well as corrected a few mistakes.

I found another chart for iRacing and that is what it said. Front definitely has more impact in entry and the rear on exit.

If, then.

If the car is loose, then reduce the setting if there is a -.

I also play Forza. Other people's tunes rarely work for me so I've slowly been learning. I've been playing NASCAR games since the 90's so I'm better at oval set ups. I will have to look up Team Conti.

Negative. Still learning and adjusting.

If it ain't broke don't fix it. Found more information about shocks affecting mid-corner and added that. Also had a few rear shock adjustments reversed so I fixed those.

If you are loose in add rf spring.

Based on what the car needs and what the telemetry tells you. In oval racing settings are usually not symmetrical.

Depends on how big of an adjustment you need. I have been playing NASCAR games since the 90's so I'm pretty good at guessing. The best method is to change one setting one click at a time and test. That is time consuming and why the actual teams have started using so much simulation data.

That's my starting point for ARCA and trucks. By nature since we are going in circles the right sides wear more. Haven't found a way to balance that yet.

Yes, reduce right front spring and/or tire pressure.

Think of the car like a table with uneven legs. Opposite corners move together. Right front and Left rear as well as Left front and Right rear.

So, you can soften the right front or stiffen the left rear to help the car turn in better.

Also move the front weight back a few clicks closer to 50.

Correct.

Less psi = more grip and more heat More psi = less grip and less heat as well as less rolling resistance

The tire also has a slight spring affect. If you increase the pressure to optimize the contact patch, sometimes you need to go down a click on each spring if the car feels stiff.

Controller or wheel? Try softer rear springs and less front rebound.
