preferred line for slow traffic at Talladega

After smacking the wall a few times, I am signifigantly slower than the
rest of the field...  where is the best place for me to drive to stay
out of the folks who are still racing?  I would think low, but I tend
to get run over a lot in that line, especially by AI's.

Any of you league racers have a preference?

Well Run the high line in the turns therfore you dont get hit BY the AI or the
people.

Most guys will prefer if you run a high line. Personally I don't care. As
long as you HOLD A LINE! That is most important. If you are already low and
guys are close just stay there, don't try and get out of the way.

Hi Gerald,

I found that with ovals, the easiest way to let drivers through is by
occupying the high groove.  This prevents you from sliding up into another
car.  Furthermore, the faster drivers should be able to hold the low groove
better and get the pass made cleanly.

There are a few tracks like Texas(?) where the high groove is fastest, but
those are the exception.

Jason.

I think Texas is capable of being comparably fast either high or low,
depending on the setup that you run.



1. N2 Talladega slow down

2. * Whew Delphi is slow slow slow ...

3. The fastest cars are slow slow slow!

4. Auto Mechanic for MD Top-of-the-line repair facility -- ASE Certification required, MD inspection preferred

5. Do Traffic Lights Slow Things Down ... ???

6. Only Slow Drivers Create Traffic

7. Speed Bumps Ineffective at Slowing Street Traffic

8. Does a bicycle TAKING THE LANE slow down traffic?

9. Car Cutting Out Slowing Down At Traffic Lights
