I just won a race there the other day, and had plenty of tire left
between gas stops.  Here are a couple of things to try:

1.  Make your right front shock setting WAY SOFT.

2.  Back off a tick earlier than you feel you should entering the turns-
you'll save *** and build a faster exit speed.

This is the first track I encountered in the season where I had to
develop "trackside object" visual cues for entering the corners, since
the road dips downward into the corners.  You can't really see the
surface in the turns until you're in them already.

God Bless,
Steve

Now I know that one of the fundamental rules of racing tells us that wheel
squeeling while going around corners et al is bad because it slows ya down
and it adds premature wear on the tires... But I can't for the life of me
get a setup sweet enough for the Louden track that will get me around
those corners tight enough without squeeling! Anyone got a good setup for
me to try? LMK...

I believe Papy deliberately made the tire squeal sound out
more so than it does in real life to give you some feedback as
to how the car is taking the turn since we don't have the
feeling of motion.

I've read as much posted here by Papy reps in the past.
