LOWE'S MOTOR SPEEDWAY |
|
CHARLOTTE IS A GREAT RACE TRACK! IT'S FAST, ITS FUN, AND IT MAKES FOR SOME GREAT RACING. IT TAKES A PRETTY GOOD SETUP, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, YOU CAN MAKE UP FOR A CAR THAT ISN'T QUITE RIGHT BY DRIVING A DIFFERENT LINE. MORE THAN ONE RACE AT CHARLOTTE HAS BEEN WON BY THE GUY WHO SEARCHED FOR THE RIGHT LINE ALL RACE LONG, AND THEN RUN AWAY FROM THE FIELD WHEN HE FOUND IT.
THE BASIC LINE FOR CHARLOTTE IS SOMETHING LIKE THIS. START OUT NEAR THE WALL IN THE QUAD-OVAL AT THE START/FINISH LINE. SWING OUT WIDE AND THEN DIVE INTO TURN ONE. TAP THE BRAKES GENTLY TO SLOW YOU DOWN AND LET YOU SETTLE THE CAR IN AND DRIVE IT ON THE BOTTOM. BE CAREFUL COMING OFF OF TURN 2, IT'S TIGHT AND THE WALL IS UNFORGIVING. LET THE CAR DRIFT OUT TO THE WALL AND KEEP IT THERE ALL THE WAY DOWN THE BACKSTRETCH.
ENTER TURN 3 HIGH AND THEN DRIVE IT DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THE CORNER. YOU CAN GET INTO THE GAS A LITTLE EARLIER THAN YOU THINK AND THEN DRIVE IT HARD INTO THE DOGLEG. LET THE CAR DRIFT OUT TO THE WALL AT THE START/FINISH LINE AND THEN GET READY TO DO IT ALL AGAIN!!
TURNS 1 AND 2 ARE DIFFICULT AND MUST BE NAVIGATED WITH CARE OR YOUR RIGHT FRONT FENDER WILL BE LEFT IN THE BACK OF ONE OF THE CLEAN-UP TRUCKS!! REMEMBER: IT'S MORE IMPORTANT TO GET A GOOD RUN OFF OF THE CORNER THAN IT IS TO HOLD AN EXTRA MILE AN HOUR IN THE CORNERS. SO KEEP THE CAR UNDERNEATH YOU AND GET IT SET UP TO GAIN SPEED ON THE BACKSTRETCH.

3 LOWE'S RACE SETUP
A GREAT RACE SETUP
THAT WILL RUN HIGH, LOW, OR JUST ABOUT ANYWHERE IN BETWEEN. THIS IS
ANOTHER RACE WINNER. AN OPPONENT WAS QUOTED AS SAYING HE COULDN'T BELIEVE
THAT I WAS ABLE TO PASS HIM ON THE OUTSIDE OF TURNS 1 AND 2 WITH THIS
SETUP. THIS SETUP IS AWESOME DURING THE RACE. IT WON'T POST THE
FASTEST SPEEDS, BUT WILL RACE REALLY WELL.
