What setup are we using?

What unattainable lap times should I be turning here?

We'll use the <fast> setup that comes with the track.

I did a 108.7 tonight. I'm going to use Joachim's 107.7 as a goal.

I think this track is *really* fun to drive. There's almost never a break,
and it's a very quick and fast track.

Haven't had time to visit yet.  This work thing is SUCH a pain in the ass
sometimes :)

Man, how do you do it. I have practiced a lot here and still the best I can
do is 113, and I'm sliding all over the place. But it is a fun track.

Mid 8's or mid 7's.... damn.... I am really gonna be off the pace
here.  I can't seem to figure out where I am losing time.  I know I
don't have the S's nailed down yet which is probably where I am losing
most of my time but I am just not really sure.

After 2 days of practice (about 2 hours)  the best lap I have turned
is a 10.5.  Figured I might be able to get 1 more second out of it,
but when running race laps I don't see myself pushing it much past an
avg. lap time around 10.5 to 11.5

It is really a fun truck, but I think a lot of that is the mod.  These
physics seem to be much more forgiving.  You can really throw the car
around and get it sideways and still recover.  The cup cars just don't
allow it.

I uploaded a 108.4 to this site  http://home.comcast.net/~davegf/ in case it
might help to see where you guys are losing time.

I read at the PWF forum that Dale Jr. said on his site that the cup cars in
N2003 don't have enough grip. I didn't check his site to see for sure that
he said this (don't even know where it is), but it doesn't surprise me if
it's true. It would explain why the races on TV seem to look so much
different (depending on the track) from what I see online. It's a shame too,
because we are likely missing out on even better racing then we have now.

Buy Replay Analyzer 2003, edit Achims replay to match to your mod and
merge
yours and Achims replay to one. Then you will see it painfully ;)

Thanks, I need to see were I am off.  I seem to hit a wall and can't
get below 10.5.
