DTR Revised Setups

       As some of you may have noticed the patch seems to have changed
the physics of DTR. The stagger and tire wear seem to have a much
greater effect than before. Plus the cars seem quite a bit looser at least
with my setups. So I have started redoing them and hopefully they will
get posted shortly. I have sent Jure my redone setups for Shawano and
Muskogee and they are very stable. I was able to hit 16.96 at Shawano
and 18.44 at Muskogee. The driving line for both setups remains the
same from  the previous guide.

One question I have on DTR setups in general is how they can have
separate setting for left and right FRONT toe-in. Front-end alignment
specs always just give a TOTAL toe-in (or out), since the front wheels
are connected together by the tie-rod. For example, if you have a setup
of LF = -1.0 and RF = +2.9, this would seem to be the same as a front-
end setting of +1.9. You could set the LF at 0.0 and RF at 1.9 and it
would be the same effect. I guess that the settings that you make
indicate the toe-in when the steering wheel is in the "straight up"
position, but it's never in that position for long anyway :-). Most
setups that I've seen tend to split the setting between the wheels (in
the above case, both at 0.9 or 1.0).

You might want to think about posting in plain text also...  It's very
hard to read using newsreaders that don't know about html.  I say:
"save the html for your web site".

Thanks, --mK

    MK, in that message there wasn't anything but a header so I don't
know how you got I was using HTML? I don't post in html usually
so if it was ask MS for the reason!
    Perhaps its time you got an up to date reader.

    Doug, you are absolutely correct! I would have to assume it is
supposed to be caster as they are measuring it in degrees as opposed
to inches. I have wondered this myself though everytime I look at it.
