NASCAR Quikfix Guide HERE!

by jk.. » Sat, 15 Jul 1995 04:00:00

For all the people who missed it the first time...
here is the NASCAR Quikfix guide.  You can print it out
and keep it handy so you don't have to get out of NASCAR to
read the excellent guide "ncarrw.wri" or go to the sometimes
informative manual.  NOTE:  For those of you who are new
to racing, don't think that you can do one fix to correct the
car.  Many times you may fix one aspect, but it will change
another which needs to be readjusted.  For example, if you
change the rear weight of the car to reduce push, you may
find that you get loose exiting the corner now.  So therefore
you now should readjust shock/tire pressure settings.
Anyhow, enjoy!  Post all comments/corrections/ideas to
