It has a redirect link to:

That is if your are thinking about the same site I am.
In the top, you'll see N4 Guides. That where the track guides are

| No but a Chris Moses also had a 1:13 out there last night in
| qualifying. 1:13.8 IIRC. Geeezz.....

But why do people want a truck expansion? Those cars handles like
trucks already.

Agreed. Semi trucks at that! <g>

Lots of surfing to do now, Team Lightspeed has a -lot- of N4 links :)

Well what do you think I've been doing since I read Gregor's post?

Setup is much more important than in GPL because of aerodynamic effects.
In qualifying, you can use much more grille tape, and that's the main
advantage (I tend to do 16s-17s in the race, with an occasional lower
lap as well once the balance changes :) ). You also want the car to be
as low as possible, and since on Watkins Glen (maybe apart from the
Outer Loop, ahem, The Loop :) ) the sideways forces aren't all that
strong, you can go to a rather soft setup, which, under aerodynamic load
will lower the rideheight, giving even more aerodynamic downforce, and
is good for general grip as well. I run springs at about 500 all around,
with track bars as low as possible (so most weight is carried by
springs, not suspension links; I'm not sure if it matters in Nascar 4,
but there you have it), and adjust the attitude by anti roll bars. The
dampers are to be set so the cars isn't all over the place; not to soft,
but don't go into too stiff either or hitting the kerbs at the Inner
Loop will hurt. I put some more weight to the rear to get better
traction out of the many low speed corners; this might create an
oversteer tendency midcorner, though. In both the race and the qualifing
setup I use largely the same suspension settings, with a bit less
rear/more front ARB for qualifying to compensate for some more downforce
at the front and more power at the rear.
A lot of time can be had in a couple of places IMHO. One of them is the
Esses, where I tend to strive for a GPL kind of approach, which is to
compromise turn 1 for a flat out exit all the way just after the turn-in
point for the left hander, then the Inner Loop, where you can enter it
at what appear to be insanely high speeds and then scrub some of, which
is good since it's not followed by a straight, but preceeded by one, but
also turn 1, where braking earlier than it seems and nailing a late apex
on the inside (banked) line is the way to go.
