NASCAR Rear Camber?

        I am missing something!  I have noticed Nascar setups either here or on the WWW give rear camber settings.  The NASCAR RACING I've been driving has no
rear camber adjustment.  Is this only available through  and with the NASCAR
racing league that is online?

You're not missing anything, Ron.  In the real world of NASCAR racing,
rear camber is not an adjustment that can be made at the track.  You see,
these cars have solid rear axles, and camber has to be built into them.
Also, NASCAR limits the amount of rear camber that can be used, a rule
that stems from a period in 1992 when axles were breaking on car after car
because the teams were running too much rear camber.  Another interesting
note--the NASCAR Craftsman trucks are not allowed to run any rear camber
at all.

There are ways to adjust rear camber in NASCAR Racing, but you have to use
a hex editor to do it.  Papyrus has also made it clear that it is illegal
to use any setup where rear camber has been altered with a hex editor.

Hope this helps.

You can't adjust rear camber with NASCAR. However, a few people have
discovered that the physics engine apparently does use the camber settings
in the .STG file and have "hacked" the files with a hex editor or special
program to change the rear camber.

David is correct, and you should stay away from the hexed files if you want
to race on Hawaii or the NRL. However, if the setups you viewed here or on
the WWW give  these figures for rear camber: RR -1.93 LR 0.84 then they are
not hexed. The reason they are shown sometimes is because some setup viewers shows the rear camber settings.(nassetup.exe comes to mind
show rear camber.(nassetup.exe comes to mind as one that shows it all).
  These setup viewers come in handy when you want to check for hacked
setups downloaded from the net.

Hope this helps,
