Qualifying Problem?

by WOD » Thu, 02 May 1996 04:00:00

Hi Guys...After getting floored by the race Sunday at Talledega, I've been
working on my setup (at Talledega)  and I've run a few races. But when I
qualify, I'm placed last, no matter what my time is....What am I doing
wrong? It must ne something simple (my race is too short? less than 20
laps)...and while we are at it....I hit a 194+ lap, but I'm averaging
about 192, and if I get a draft I hit 200 at the end of the back straight,
but I've hit a ceiling. I'm down to no spoiler, no air dam, and my right
side is maxed out at 60psi...any thoughts?  Lou B.

Since Talladega is a restrictor plate race you get 2 qualifying laps.
Keep going until you get the checker.

NOTE:  If I had a dollar for every time this question has been asked I
could be on Hawaii right now ;-)

I am NOT paranoid.  And why are you always watching me?!?
