I had some moving problem and my car page did not work for a little. It
is up and running now, go and fine the 25th anniversary STP car, the
IRON MAN #5, the Honey Crunch #5 for 1997, as well as many other very
well designed cars.

Alex... is there any way you can attach a date when the cars were
created so greatful racers (Thank You BTW) like myself can figure out
if we've got the files yet or not...

Hi All.

I don't know if this is any value, but I'll post it for those who may
be in my plight. I was overly dependent on stagger in NASCAR 1, and
when it was taken away, all my setups went to junk. The obvious
question is: "What's the new stagger at each track we are given"?

One of the utilities that prints setups for NASCAR 2 (I think it was at
the Pits, not sure) reports the following defaults:

Track Stagger Front Air Dam
atlanta 1.0 3.5
bristol 1.0 3.5
c***te 1.5 4.0
darlington 1.0 3.5
dover 1.0 3.5
michigan 1.0 3.5
martinsvill 1.5 4.0
richmond 1.5 4.0
loudon 1.0 3.5
phoenix 1.0 3.5
pocono 1.0 3.5
rockingham 1.0 3.5
searspoint 0.0 4.0
taladega 1.0 3.5
watglen 0.0 4.0

This may be useful if you are trying to reconcile your NASCAR 1 setups
to NASCAR 2.

I think, as in the real world, stagger is no longer an issue as bias
ply tires have been replaced by radials.....

Stagger is still used, but on radial tires, teams cannot effectively
"adjust" the stagger in the tires. With bias ply tires, you could
over-inflate them and leave them out on pit road in the sun, and
they'd grow slightly. This was not precisely controllable or
repeatable, but it worked.

The stagger is cast into the tires that Goodyear brings to the track.
There are left side and right side tires, and the right side tires are
a little bigger, by whatever amount Goodyear decides.

In the game, I believe there is no stagger on road courses, 1.5" on
oval tracks under 1 mile, and 1.0" on tracks 1 mile and over.

: I dont really care about stagger, but I really miss the air dam
: adjustment at Atlanta, C***te and Michigan, I had killer steups there
