Need Qual help in N2

 This may sound funny,but I am pretty good in qualifing on N1 on
Hawaii,people know me as GT86,but I am having a problem with qualifing in
N2.I may say most of the people I know who were fast in qualifing in N1 like
Smokkinu and Cookies and Don Wilshe and a bunch of others are having hard
times in getting up to speed in N2.Is this true for everone who was fast in
N1?I also noticed on the Fastlap link at the IVGA page that people I have
never heard of (atleast of being on Hawaii are spanking our butts) : ).I
have noticed aswell from a couple racers that I know that didn't race N1
on-line and weren't that fast at N1 are eating me alive in N2.What I am
asking is I need some help at Talladega in the qualifing area and mostly
likely the race area aswell if these guys are qualifing at 196,I would hate
to see their race speeds.My best Qual at 70 degrees at Talladega is in the
Fastlap program and is up on Don's page,which is a 195.464.I seen that
everyone above me was using a Chevy and I a Ford and the difference between
my qual speed and the fastest speed is just a tad over 2 tenths of a
second.So I tried a Chevy and didn't see any improvement and actually my
fastest with the Chevy was a 195.3.I also noticed the fastest at Atlanta
(another tarck I was fast at in N1)was a 184.4 and was doing with a Ford i
think (not sure) my best is a 183.8,but usually around 183.2's to
183'3s,with both a Ford and a Chevy.Which I am racing ATlanta at 183.9 to
184.2 in the first couple laps,then from 184.4 to 184.7 after the tires get
hot.So I am asking for some help with this to tracks manilly with the
qualifing end at Talladega and both at Atlanta.I have tried everything that
I can think of I don't know if it's my line or setups or maybe both.I will
give anyone that can get me up to speed at these two tracks my best 2 setups
for the same tracks for N1,since myself GT86 will nolonger be on
there,because of all the Huggins ***that went on.I am looking to qual at
196.2 and above at Dega and 184.2 and above at atlanta if anyone can help me
get up to these speeds likeI said you will get my best qual setup and race
setup for both Dega and ATlanta for N1 on Hawaii.Thanks for the time

Hello Robert, I would like to help but as you can see on Don's page my
times are a shade slower than yours. Dega is not my strong suit but
maybe I can help at Pocono or Michigan :) Good luck
