I have been running N99 since it was released. When I race (normally
45-65% lengths) I run strong on long runs. However, I feel like Dale
Earnhardt every time I attempt to qualify ( sorry chevy guys ).
Is there a basic guideline to change a race setup for qualifying or should I
start with a fresh setup to get my speeds up ?

You should also try out NROS. TONs of FUN. Couldn't get away with only
practicing 3 laps with each setup either IMHO.
