I' having trouble changing pit stratagy. Instead of always taking 4
tires, gas and repair I'd like to maybe adjust tire pressure, or maybe
take on only right side tires. How do I make spit stop adjustments?

Thanks in advance.

For tires, hit F5, then <space> or <enter> to toggle the check marks on each
tire. I forget which does what. For fuel, hit F3, then the '<' or '>' for
less or more fuel at your next stop.

Use you radio controls (i.e. F1,F2, ect... keys), then use the "<" ">" key to make the
adjustments. But for the tires "F5" spacebar to choose the tire, and the "ENTER" key
for yes or no for it to be changed....

What I do is pause the game before I go in the pits, and then do all my
adjustments, and the unpause it.....only works 1 player though....2
players is kinda tough.

Before entering the pits hit F9 and then hit enter and the repair
command will disappear. I think you can also do it while in the pit
before the repair starts but I'm not 100% sure.

I seem to remember that there was a way to not repair car damage as well
as not taking on all tires and gas. I can only remember that it was
something to do with a key stroke (like f10 0r f11). It will really speed
up your stop in a place like Martinsville where wrinkled fenders are a
right of passage. I wish that I could be more help but I can't recall the
exact procedure. If anyone knows please post a reply to either Jon or

before you enter the pit hit the f# key that brings up the tire wear
indicator. Hit space bar to highlight the tire you want to toggle than
hit return to make the cjeckmark underneath dissappear.

Pause the game...

hit f10 and then hit spacebar This means damage will not be fixed
hit f4 (tires) and press enter/spacebar The check on each tire means
they will be changed

Or, as we like to say.... Read the manual. You DO have a manual,
right?

Hit F9 to get to the pit stop screen. Hit enter to toggle repair on/off.
Every time you are damaged or compete a pit stop, it switches back to
"Repair Damage On", so don't forget to turn it off just before entering the
pits if you don't want damage repaired. In MP NASCAR, you can also stop
repairs in progress and there's an indicator to tell you the progress of
the pace car on the track.

On page 19 of the manual it explains the method of selecting
which tires to be change and also the pressure for each new
tire. Do the this prior to going into the pits.
