><p>I think it's not too far from theirs...
><br>I understand what you mean, and in case you didn't know these 2 sites

><a href="http://www.thatsracin.com/">http://www.thatsracin.com/</a> ),

><blockquote TYPE=CITE>&nbsp;The problem I'm having is that my tires

><br>the track text files under the TIRES line.&nbsp; What I wanted to do

><br>tweak this line until my tire life matches close to the real life cars
