Setup Problems for Nascar2

A: My setup page won't let me adjust the fuel capacity, hence I will never have a pole qualifying with 22 gallons of fuel in my tank. How do you adjust? B: How do you adjust stagger? I don't even see it on the setup page. C: Under default settings I have one setting for qualifying and another for race but no matter what the car is set up to run what is indicated in the settings box instead of the default settings. What gives? Thanks for any and all help. -- ***************************************************************************** Todd's world-home of Bucky the rat, Brewers, Beer, Bucks, and Brats *****************************************************************************

You have to start each session with a full tank of fuel. Sine the cars have radial tires, you can't adjust stagger by varying the air pressure. Goodyear builds the stagger into their tires, and they are the same for all teams at the tracks. -- The IWCCCARS Project: Q & A Representative http://www.theuspits.com/iwcccars/index.html http://userwww.service.emory.edu/~ebusch/

You don't. You don't. There are no stagger adjustments in Nascar anymore. What? Just as the manual says... -- http://www.netins.net/showcase/mpete/nascar.html Mike's Nascar World Stop on by, what can it hurt?

Hi Todd, never have a pole qualifying with 22 gallons of fuel in my tank. How do you adjust? << See page 144 of the manual. In short you can only adjust fuel in testing sessions. Apparently this is in accord with Nascar rules. << Can't see anything in the manual about it. But if memory serves me, its the tyre suppliers that create stagger in the tyre sets, though with the advice of the teams as to how much for a given circuit. I guess that therefore the teams have little ability in real life to do anything about it once they've got the tyres. for race but no matter what, the car is set up to run what is indicated in the settings box instead of the default settings. What gives? << Don't know !! Anyone ?? Regards Phillip McNelley

I think that it DOES read from either the Qualifying and race setups. Setuo and save two extremely different setups and then put one in for each. Change to Qualify and run the qualifying lap and then go to race and you'll see the diffference. In actuality there are 3 different setups that you could have in there while getting ready to race, as the Default setup is used for Practice and Warmups. Hope it helps. >Regards >Phillip McNelley Dave Long

Just finished reading my manual cover to cover tonight and it clearly says that only in testing can you vary fuel load, qualifying and race by Nascar rules must start with a full 22 gallons. also states that the stagger diameter amounts are preset by the tire manufacturer prior to each event. I also notice in there that per Nascar rules you can no longer adjust the front air dam. Hope this helps clear it up. Ron

Ron, just thought I'd pass along my congrats...... why? You're one of the few people (it seems) on here who took the time to read the manual:)

Where are they ? Especially race setups. Thanks. -- Benoit "H.i." Parmentier http://www.mygale.org/06/parmenti
