Bristol

5 posts by 4 people · 25 Jul 1996 - 02 Aug 1996

I'd like to say that it would be lovely if I could use Hawaii, but I'm a little embarassed to admit that I'm not certain how to use it. Anyone that could enlighten me would be appreciated. By the way, my personal record at Bristol is 135.something...My setup was barely drivable...I wouldn't want to run more than five or six laps with it (just enough to heat up the tires and qualify). It was REALLY loose...Bristol is best driven with the left two wheels OFF of the banking...it seems to hold you in place pretty well. A lot of NEGATIVE cross weight, and all of the weight in the back and on the left side. My setup also had all four gears within .80 of each other, so that I could actually downshift to first down the straights...had the effect of keeping 'er in the red the whole time...But it shore kept the revs up coming out of the corners... Comments?
Believe me you'll be much to busy to down shift at the Bristol wreckfest. You'll be avoiding guys coming of the corners sideways, and idiots that can't even do a lap and wreck everyone. But if you're one of the lucky ones that get through all that, then it's fun. Higgy

If you get with a group who take it slow for a couple of laps just to be sure they can all make it around, it's a blast! I think it's all in "who you race with". With Bristol and human competition, it's more "staying alive" than going fast.... which seems to take more talent. Those of you who've done it.... Isn't it something? Sure, nobody is turning 90+ MPH laps, maybe doing 70 or so, but everyone is RACING! It does tend to keep you from daydreaming! Mike
