tires- what tire setup are you using? for my mr-02 supra i have 10deg. atomic grooved rear and 30deg. atomic slicks front.
i plan on trying a set of stock slicks up front to balance the oversteer (i got the right word right?).
i like the stock ol tires for the front with 30deg in the rear. it still rolls but i don't think there is any k. spec way to eliminate that.

tie rods- i have a 1deg toe in for my x5 as i saw your track has long straights. my supra has this as well and both do well on my track but it's much shorter than your setup.

shocks- i tweaked the lowdowns (almost a must for rcp track) by screwing down the shock shaft almost as far as it will go. my brothers lc with stock shocks was all over the place

motor- while i should have used a stock motor for stampy's i think the x-speed will definatley be helpful considering the sraights you have. what pinion do you feel works well for the track?

track- which side of the track do you have face up? the textured side or smooth?
while the offroad tiles work well, for me anyway, the mr-02's got a little wiley when the it them. have you experiencec this? i know they gave my f1 a hard time.... which direction will we be running? it's going to make a huge difference in where th pileup corners will be (looks lke the mid section, 3 turns, will be a tight spot if the grid is bunched up).

transponders- what will you be using to stick these to the cars/trucks? i've read some use electrical tape but that is messy. stampy's used small velcro dots which worked well unless you really got wacked.

marshalling- i am new to this but the people at stampy's were nto happy with the marshalling rules which were;
driver can not touch his own car
marshall can not fix cars

if your car had problems you had to ask somone or have a pit person so to speak ready for emergencies. for the most part, anyone standing by did the fixing which was typicall the body/transponder getting knocked off. by the end of day however anyone and everyone was doing it all which i can't blame them really after the long delay we had.

I run radials (GPM) front and rear.

I have always run 0 degree stock all around, so don't really have any feedback on this one.

No question xspeed, but for pinion, I liked the 8 tooth.

Textured. The offroad tiles will ONLY be used for the Overlands. Mike has folks to swap them in between heats. Racers run full "asphault".

Clockwise. So from the picture, on the straight the cars will be going away from you. Racers will line on the right hand side of the pic.

I have my own Personal, so I bought a good amount of self-ahesive velcro. I slapped a section on each car and on the transponder itself.

Don't know on this. We have always done similar with the drivers, last thing we need is a driver darting out to get their car and obstruct views/step on cars etc. Mike bought grabbers for the event, and on friday I plan on trying to locate the best Marshall locations that folks will be at. I do not know this, but my guess would be that the heat that just finished racing, would marshall the next, but I am not sure how Mike was planning to do that.


Hopefully some of that helps!
