Andy, once you get use to it, a straight wheel will be messed up for you.
If I get a setup that does not pull to the left, then I'm constantly banging
into the outside wall going down the straights. :>

Trust me, you will get use to it.

Jr. himself in an early online interview about NR2002 (think it was at BHMS)
said the pull was annoying, but correctly done. And I once had an interview
with Scott Sharp (seem to have deleted it) where he said if he let go of the
wheel of his IRL car, it would be into the inside wall almost instantly.
Optimized oval setups just WILL pull left, and if it's more than you can
live with, you can tweak it out with setup choices and/or recalibrating the
center position of your wheel (which most resembles the real drivers' method
of mounting their wheels off-center).

Andy -

Do you have a MS Sidewinder by chance??? If so - I have the SAME
problem using XP - All you need to do is go to the calibration page, and
slightly hold the wheel to the left when you click 'done' - I know it
seems weird to hold it left, but it works - I went from steering HARD
left at the center point, I mean SO bad I needed a turn signal...Now I
can let go of the wheel and I'm straight as an arrow....
