Reduce the stiffness at the RF.
Maybe change the right front tire during the stop.
You didn't mention what temp it had...

Believe it or not, some of the dropoff in lap speeds is no doubt due
to driver fatigue.

If you get a dead push, take out some cross-weight. I'm sure there are
solutions to push on entry and push on exit with tire pressures, but
I'll defer to others who know better than I do.

You don't mention what game you're playing, but N1 has a bug which
causes this behavior. That bug does not exist in N2, so if you're
playing N1, there's no real workaround, other than cranking in massive
negative cross-weight...

: I've been running Bristol alot lately. After about 180 or so ( and 1

: or so. ( It seems to handle better tucked in behind someone also )
: Any ideas to correct this problem during a pit stop. Using a Ford
: chassis if that matters.

If it's tight in the middle of the turns, try taking some wedge out
on your pit stop.  If it's not too bad try lowering the right front
tire pressure.

It it's tight going into a turn, raise the right rear tire pressure
and/or lower right front tire pressure.

If it's tight coming off the turns, lower left front tire pressure
and/or raise left rear tire pressure.

Check with your pit crew and see how the tire wear is and make
judgements on which tires to change the pressure on based on the wear.

Tight going into the turn.
