For those who wish to share some winning setups, these are the two I used
to qualify and win a 37 lap race at Taladega.  Very good and controlable
speed.  The qual setup let me qual on the pole and the second setup let
me lead all 37 laps.

The Race:
20% race length = 37 Laps
Temp 70 degrees constant
Opponents 38 at 100%

====================================================
QUAL setup for Talladega Superspeedway
----------------------------------------------------

Rear Bias:      1655   47.2%    Rear Spoiler:   40?

TIRE   PSI   CAMBER   SHOCKS    GEARS
----------------------------    --------------------
RF     55    -1.60?     70%     First:          9.80
RR     55    -1.93?     20%     Second:         6.00

Now here is what I used to win the race:

I've set times of 207.123 with restrictor plate by just putting 60psi on on
my outside tyres and 57 on my instide ones.. runs great in Qualifying and
not bad in race... mind you you'll need lots of changes unless you lower
the tyre pressures in the race.
Oh BTW lower the front air dam too... you'll need a bit more downforce!

WITH restrictor plate?  For qualifying?  Yah, right.  That's only about
5 MPH more than the cream of the crop are running in the IWCC online series.
