ADVANCED SETUP GUIDE FOR NASCAR

Nascar Drivers, Bill Dillon and I are currently working on an Advanced Setup Guide for Nascar Racing. Our intention is to give all drivers, whether "hotshoes" or beginners the necessary information that will enable you to go faster, last longer, be consistent, drive safer, and have more fun!! The guide will be available in 1 to 2 months after we wrap it up. The following items are some of our main objectives for the Advanced Setup Guide: a) Writing -- entertaining but to the point verbiage that clearly illustrates a concept in simple terms. The track sections will be structured to promote at-a-glance information from track to track so that once you know the overall layout you will be able obtain info on the fly without having to search for that elusive tip, etc... b) Setups -- this is our forte and currently advanced setup help is needed by many drivers. In the setup section an overview of the physics of racing will be reviewed. We will take each aspect of the garage and explain it to the extent that there will be no questions about what does what and why! We will explain how to make adjustments that will alter the cars performance according to specific needs on any given spot on the track. We will walk everyone through how we came up with our own setups, qualifying and race(also provided with the guide), and how to develop a winning car which fits your driving style. Unfortunately there hasnt been any significant help provided in the setup area since Nascar Racing came out and this guide with alleviate that need. c) Driving & Tracks -- driving technique is just as important as setups though many refuse to acknowledge this fact. We will deliver information on how to drive each track correctly in order to achieve maximum speed. In depth information will be given for all major transition points on each track such as braking points, coasting, turn in points, drifting, speed requirements, acceleration points, passing sections and cornering techniques. All information on track speeds will be accurate, as will the info on how to attain these speeds. Safety and consistency will be covered as well as the level of competition available on-line with the fastest virtual drivers in the world. d) AI & Racing Strategy -- competing with the AI on levels of at least 106% Opps for all tracks means we will be able to give an informed view on how to drive with the AI as well as developing your race strategy based on diverse racing situations. Mental aspects of driving will also be covered in an attempt to reduce the nervousness and increase the concentration associated with racing at high levels of competition. Bill and I have been racing since the day Nascar came out and have put in thousands of hours of seat and garage time. Our goal has always been to be the best and win as many races as we can and to do it safely and as cleanly as possible. We have worked in the garage together for many an hour and have developed a setup philosophy that has been a proven winner at all tracks and in all weather conditions. Since the MP network has come up and the driving and quality of the races are suffering, unless you're in a closed league, we've decided to help out. Some track times that will be achievable with information and setups contained within the guide are as follows: Atlanta - 188.9xx Bristol - 135.xxx C***te - 185.5xx Darlington - 183.3xx Dover - 161.3xx Michigan - 192.5xx Martinsville - 100.8xx Loudon - 132.xxx Phoenix - 134.2xx Pocono - 167.1xx Richmond - 129.2xx Rockingham - 154.3xx Sears - 94.xxx Talladega - 196.xxx Watkins - 120.2xx Wilkes - 116.7xx While it's tough to talk about the teams success without sounding like pompous braggart's, I hope you all see us as two guys who are a little faster that want to help others and that's all. Anyway, if anyone is interested in the guide please let us know, as we are going to do it by a desktop publishing method and it will help to know the demand, if any. Thanks for your time!! ******************************************************************************************************************************************************** Race for the sake of the race, for the three wide in a turn trust, for the pedal to the floor rush, for constantly being on the edge, for that one last pit to add wedge, for the need to be better than good, for the memory of the Pettys & Woods, for the hard work done in the garage, for Chevy, Ford, Pontiac and ol Dodge, for always givin it your all, for doin 207 one inch from the wall, for simply haulin a--, to brakin deep in the corner for the pass. This is what we hunger for, confidence with all drivers door to door and as gentlemen we can all have a taste, Race for the sake of the Race!! Rhawn Black & William Dillon Virtual Velocity Racing

Rhawn and Bill, I would have sent EMail but for some reason my newsreader is acting up. I would love to get this. I like many others do not have the time to work on Costs???? Thanks................................................................Dan

Count me in, I need all the help I can get. -

Ya know, when I first got NASCAR, I figured part of the game was working out & learning how to setup the car for myself. As it turns out, after racing a couple times on HAWAII, I've got a lot to learn. So, I'd appreciate any insight you fellas can present, especially in the area of setups. I don't want to be told how to setup my cars exactly, but some help is obviosly necessary.. In other words, I appreciate what you're doing, and would like you to send me anything regarding what your posting is all about... thanks Pasadena, CA Roll the FIST!

Drivers? HAH! surely you jest...I'm a flailer! (not on purpose tho) Most cool and definitely needed and wanted by this wannabe Just one question? Ho wmuch are you guys gonna charge for this thing when it's alll done? I just want to know so I can make sure to set aside that much when it's ready! -Bill P.S. I had to post a reply since my email system won't let me leave commas in the address

Rhawn and Bill, Interested. Thanks for //ALL// your efforts. Wade Tschida W_Cheeta (MP) #49 DB Motorsports
