the 2 guys above are pretty Darn sharp..so listen close to them...
what i would like to add from my own personal experience from being around round tracking most of my life.
#1- the best chassis man in the world cannot get you where the car needs to be ( set up) until the driver can tell the chassis man what the car is doing example: loose going in,pushing coming out,loose coming out..
there is so much thats come with experience in the seat that contributes to the handling of your car....
stock car round track racing is a unique sport in itself in which the handling of the car is based on Throttle control..when to get out of it..when to start picking up the gas in the turn..being smooth with the throttle as to not upset the car..
i have seen Good experienced drivers get in another mans car that swears the car will not drive..and the experienced person run 3 tenths quicker
if you ever get a chance to watch a NEXTEL CUP OR BUSH race (practice) dial in their scanner code and listen to the driver talking to the crew chief on what the car is doing...
we like to give roundy round guys a hard time ( in fun) but in the real world this is one tuff sport accomplish.....
