ICR2: Michigan race setup

by Michael E. Carv » Mon, 20 May 1996 04:00:00

Okay, I've got a pretty good qualifying setup.  But now I need some
help with a race setup.  The only way I can keep up with the big boys is
to blister my front right.  With the setup I have now, I lose about .2
seconds a lap to the front runner.  This is by running conservative
(keeping the front right below 270 degrees).  Even doing this leaves me
with a totally used RF when the pit window arrives.

How about some tips.  Now I have heard theories about too much stagger
on superspeedways eats up the tires.  What is the experience of the pros
for stagger at Michigan?  What's the trick for keeping the tire temp
down on the RF?  What about the shocks?  Is slightly softer on the right
side the way to go?

Anyway, here is the setup I'm using now (any ideas or tips on which
direction to go to improve it)?  Remember, I'm looking for a racing
setup...

Fuel:            40  gallons            1st Gear: 11.70
Steering Lock:   10  degrees            2nd Gear:  7.90
Stagger:        +0.300  inches          3rd Gear:  6.10
                                        4th Gear:  5.00
Front Wing:      3.45                   5th Gear:  4.40
Rear Wing:       3.00                   6th Gear:  4.30

Boost Level:     0
Front Anti-Roll: 4
Rear Anti-Roll:  5
Brake Bias:      2

   TIRE         COMPOUND     PSI      CAMBER     SHOCK
 Right Front    Hard          35      -1.80       60%
 Right Rear     Medium        39      -1.30       90%
 Left Rear      Soft          39      -0.40       100%
 Left Front     Soft          43      -0.80       75%
