wanted: NASCAR setup for BRISTOL

  This setup for Bristol gave me a blap of 128.036 mph. This should also
give you a 100 lap average of about 123 mph. It is a fairly loose setup.
If
it is too loose for you, add about 35# cross weight. Give yourself about 8
laps to warm up the rear tires, maybe leave it in third gear till you get
a
handle on it. Tire wear is quite even, but only good for about 110 laps.
This
should keep you on the track about 20 - 35 laps more than the competition.
The other cars seem to loose traction after about 40 laps, so be careful
passing up high in the turns (they'll push you up into the wall). A
cruising
lap would have a maximum straight speed of 140 mph, minimum turn speed of
108
mph. A hot lap would be about 151 mph. max., and 119 mph. min. in the
turns.
Get your car squared-up for the straights before you mash the gas, or
you'll
be swerving and smoking the rears. You need a heavy stab of brakes just
before you head downhill into the turns, then easy on the gas in the
turns.
