NASCAR Racing w/T1

I have recently been having a problem with my T1 while racing
NASCAR.  Every once in a while, usually during a yellow, the
wheel calibration goes haywire.  The car makes a hard left and
accelerates into the wall.  It's like a cruel joke especially
after finishing half the race.  Anyway, if anyone has had
similar problems and worked them out please do tell.

Never had that problem with mine.  Sometimes if I have unplugged it,
it'll need re-calibrating but it happens right away and usually with
IndyCar Racing, not NASCAR Racing.    Now if I could just work out that
push in the tri-oval at Talladega....

The steering pot on mine went bad after 2 weeks.  With the wheel 5-10
degrees to the left the calibration was all over the place.  Must have
had some oxide flake off.  Thrustmaster sent a new one, which I installed.
It has been flawless since.

BTW: They're not trivial to install.
     Not REAL difficult, either, just not as easy as you might expect.

Hey Sean, you'll probably never get rid of that push because they made the
Tri-Oval too darn tight!! Just drive down onto the apron from the top lane and
you'll be fine(just pray that no one sneaks onto your outside or it will be time
for a "slide ride" across the infield!!).
