What speeds are you running in the corners??
You might be getting back on the gas too soon

  Most importantly, which Atlanta is it? If it is the C***te "clone"
you may want to add a round of wedge to it (increase right side weight)
or maybe try lowering the right front tire pressure a pound or two. It
may help, it may not. If it is loose as you get bak into the gas, add
wedge. If it is loose all the time, you may want to do both.

>Doug,

>What is exactly the car doing, "going in the turns and out????"

maybe a little push going in, going out sometimes it's right on
sometimes a little loose.  What's funny is that even if the car
handles correctly, i.e. not loose in the middle of the turn, the speed
still drops.

Thanks

Actually it's loose if anything.  What I did was move the weight
forward and now I'm doing 181's.  I think I can work from there to get
mid 180's with better line and gas control.  My front weight bias
seems more forward then most people but I don't think I have a nascar
driving style.  I think it's better suited for icr2 since my karting
experience has always be on/off the throttle with very little
coasting.

thanks again
