need nascar driving tips at Richmond

by John J Par » Sat, 09 Mar 1996 04:00:00

Hello,

I am having a really bad time at Richmond. For some reason I cannot get
my car to tighten up, it's always loose. I have tried other peoples
setup, different racing lines(although there really isn't more than 1
good line there), I have even resorted to turning the auto-brake on as
a last resort. I still am not able to keep the car on the track. Shoot
I have even had the car swing around on the backstretch doing a measly
75 mph.

Any help would be appreciated. I have only been able to get lap times
of around 118 - 120mph and those are not consistent.

Thanks
John


Race on and may you engine never fail.

John-

The only way I've been able to run Richmond is to have 54-55%
crossweight, and around 51-52% rear. Make the shocks soft. No higher
than 40% front, and 45% rear. BE REAL EASY ON THE GAS. Slow way down on
the entrance to the turns, and S-L-O-W-L-Y  get back on the gas coming
out. Use all of the track coming out of turn four. I have get 122-123
pretty consistantly (as long as my brain don't fail) and some 124's.

Good Luck

Mike
