Has anyone had any luck "softening" the rear suspension (like the pro's do) at Daytona and Talladega to achieve more speed? -Cheers!

It's also cool to see the back end actually squat down low to the track because of the soft rear suspension.

> Has anyone had any luck "softening" the rear suspension (like the pro's >do) at Daytona and Talladega to achieve more speed? I did exactly that on the NASCAR Heat demo for Daytona and have carried it over to the full version now. It actually works! I've got the rear end extremely soft in the shock department, so it has a tendancy to bounce over Daytona and Talladega's bumps, but the car is f-a-s-t! I believe that it is Tim Wheatley's favorite setup for Daytona/Talladega. :) So, here's all you need to do: Set those rear shocks to full soft and then adjust the car from there to get it to handle to your liking. ----------------------------------------- Dan Belcher Team Racing Unlimited http://simcrash.00game.com

The pros "Would" do it except Nascar mandated against it. It was ok in qualifying to allow the cars to bottom out and drag the tail...but when they started racing that way as well, the France team moved in put a halt to it. Didn't the #4 car pioneer that? and the Indy-like exhaust for the plate tracks? dave henrie "THop" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > The pro's don't do it anymore...
