I agree Bob, to a certain extent anyway.

When I make my setups I got for one thing first, pure speed. When I feel I
can accomplish that I got for stability, now if that means shaving a tenth
off my BLAP fine. I know when I made my Darl set and Atl, I screwed up and
tested alone for awhile, and when I got in a race I was so loose you'd think
I was on the corner with a skirt.

As far as your creative thingy, I totally understand. Here is what I am
finding out with regards to setups.

LR height. Raise it up, brings the RF down. Raise the LF height, that way
you can run softer springs. I found that out with some help at Atlanta, and
shaved 1-2 tenths off. Run more rear weight. At Atlanta I have 1740, Texas I
run 1755. As far as setups go that's all I can think of that I HATE doing
right now, but it's that or be left in the dust. In the leagues I run you
have to be up to speed or you won't do well. I started N2003 with the ideas
that Manuel put forth, stiff front sway, no rear sway, stiff front springs,
and a lot of front weight. Unfortunately what I find right now, that is FAR
from the truth. Mix that with the aid advantage, and well it almost becomes
no fun. I think only my Vegas had over 1800 Front weight, the rest are 1760
or back. Kind of makes me sad, but to me it's a no win situation. My stupid
competitive fire in me.

Of course you and I have fun racing, along with a few others in here we
use the best pedals money can buy

That's still done today in pickup races. A guy runs better than the host likes and he gets booted and banned mid race. Judge, Jury,
and Executioner all in one.  ;-)
