ICR Pit Locations

Does anyone know if it is possible to change the pit locations on pit road.  I
would like to have my pitlane either at the very entrance of pit lane or at
the very end of pit lane, not in the center.  There are two different theories
behind my wanting to know.  The first is if you happen to run out of fuel
coming down the back stretch (ie at NHIS), then you usually don't make it to
your pit to refuel.  Second, at places like Milwaukee, I usually ended up
barreling down the entrance at 160+ mph and missing my pit.

I noticed in the tracks .TXT file that there is a setting for the pits which
determines the pit area and pit locations.  My problem is finding a way to
determine the new coordinates for the locations I would like to have.  If
anyone has any ideas, I would like to hear them.

Yes, if you know exactly what you're doing, you can change the pit locations.  
But part of the game is learning to hit YOUR pit location correctly.  Just
practice.
