Well, I haven't seen posted otherwise, so I assume we are using the
league-standard FAST setup for saturdays race...

Am I to assume that we are back on track (no pun intended), and FAST will
always be the setup as it was last year for normal races ?

I hope not. I've been practicing with the expert. I'm assuming we're going
back to expert and the use of fast was just for Vegas. We decided to use
expert at the beginning of the season and only used the fast at Vegas
because of the expert setup being too loose.

The Jasper setup I find loose, the fast one pushes if anything.  I get about
20 laps out of the rf and still I can barely get into the high 29's.

I think you mean the expert is loose, it can get a little squirrley at
times.  The fast gets really tight after a few laps.

I was never under the impression that the Expert setup had become the
standard.  My understanding that was only during the Off-Season.

I really don't care which it is, but we need to get on track and decide what
our standard is and stop all this confusion.

Nope, I meant the fast setup.  I ran practice laps with it, and I ran in
another league that used it.  For me, it's loose, and I have to constantly
fight the thing from swapping ends.  I haven't run the expert setup yet.  If
that's even *looser*, I'm not looking forward to it...

It's about carrying momentum into the turn, Eldred. If you back it off too
far it gets squirrely. The expert setup does start off loose, but it does
comes in and it pays you back after about 35-40 laps (any bets on how much
green running we'll do?).

That said, I find it to be just "over center" too. For open setup racing I
reduce the LF rebound one click and that levels it for me.

If you really find it unworkable, you can try staying at nearly full
throttle and using the brake to slow down enough or locking up the left
front a couple times on purpose (the extra wear won't hurt your ability to
do a fuel run and it serves to tighten the car up).

That was the expert setup in the Thursday night race Eldred. At least it was
supposed to be :)

flag)...?  My practice laps were using the <fast> setup.  I just looked back in
the game - I don't even *have* the <expert> setup(for any track).  Where do you
get those from?

p.s. Great drive by Brian, though.
