NASCAR Qwikfix Guide *HERE*

For those of you who have been having problems setting up cars, and are
getting tired of going to the manual and/or going into windows/write to
read the excellent guide called ncarrw.wri by Steve, here is a quickfix
guide I have made that you can print out and have handy when you are
in the garage.  Items are listed in the approximate order they should be
fixed (what you should look at first).  REMEMBER...after you fix one item,
you may find other settings need to be adjusted!  Do not think that one
fix may completely correct your car.  If you have any more questions,
comments, additional info to add to the guide, or corrections, please

Thanx to Papyrus, NASCAR, and Steve (NCAR7).
