Try to run consistent lasp, no matter how slow. The longer you do it the faster you'll get. Once you get running a consistent speed, then you can start tweaking your setup to find more spped. But you have to learn the track, smoothly, first. Otherwise a better setup will just help you hit the wall faster.:-) BTW- I speak from experience. For along time I would run a couple laps, hit the wall, and run to the garage to try to fix my setup. It never worked. Ed Benson Oh, and Loudon is tough. I'm trying to learn it myself. I can lap consistently, but I am slow.

>Oh, and Loudon is tough. I'm trying to learn it myself. I can lap >consistently, but I am slow. Loudon is a track where it feels like you should be able to drive a lot faster into the corner, but you can't. In the couple of races I've run on Hawaii at Loudon, this seems to be where most of the drivers make their mistakes, driving too deep in the corner. I turn in early and start braking gently before the skid marks going into the corner, and then late apex the corner so I can get back on the throttle coming off the corner.

NASCAR just announced that they will drop the North Wilksboro track for 1997 season. They also said they will race at the new Fort Worth track. What is Papyrus to do now??

Yep, and y'all better get practicing on it because it will get the extra Winston Cup date in 1997!

The real question is what are the folks around North Wilksboro to do now?? All for the mighty dollar, we loose another short track to the giant million seating grandstanding super speedways. vetteracer Vetteracers Garage http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/1726 (check out my hawaii league pics and captions!!) --

Yeah, it's sad to see Wilkes go. I understand the economics, but it would be nice if they replaced it with a short track, instead of another superspeedway. Dave "davids" Sparks Sequoia Motorsports
