WE ALL KNOW YOU WANNA GO FAST AND WE ALL KNOW THAT YOU WANNA NEVER LIFT OFF THE GAS PEDAL. TALLADEGA IS YOUR DREAM TRACK! THERE IS NO BETTER TRACK TO RACE ON WHEN YOUR NEW TO NASCAR3. BUT DON'T THINK THAT DEGA IS ONLY FOR ROOKIES. THE GREAT THING ABOUT TALLADEGA IS THAT YOU CAN BE A VETERAN AND STILL HAVE A GREAT TIME HERE.

AS FAR AS SETUP, THE LOW GROOVE SETUP IS GOOD ENOUGH TO RUN WITH ANYBODY ON THE NET. IT'S GREAT FOR COLD WEATHER AND FOR NORMAL WEATHER. JUST PLAY AROUND WITH THE GEARING AND THE WEDGE A LITTLE TO ADJUST FOR WEATHER. ABOUT THE ONLY TIME IT ISN'T GOOD WITH THIS SETUP IS WHEN ITS REALLY, REALLY HOT. YOU'LL HAVE TO TWEAK IT A LITTLE TO GET IT FASTER WHEN ITS HOT.

AS FAR AS THE GROOVE AT DEGA, START OUT LOW COMING THROUGH THE TRI-OVAL. EASE OUT NEAR THE WALL AND THEN DIVE DOWN TO THE WHITE LINE AS YOU ENTER THE FIRST TURN. TRY TO KEEP THE CAR ON THE LINE ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE CORNER. BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVER-CORRECT IF THE CAR WIGGLES A LITTLE. YOU'LL SCRUB OFF SPEED AND LOSE YOUR MOMENTUM FOR THE BACKSTRETCH. COME OFF THE SECOND TURN AND LET THE CAR DRIFT OUT TO THE WALL. TRY TO KEEP THE CAR IN AS STRAIGHT A LINE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE WITHOUT TURNING THE WHEEL MUCH. EVERY TIME YOU TURN THE WHEEL, YOU LOSE A LITTLE SPEED. IT MAY NOT SEEM LIKE MUCH, BUT WHEN YOUR RACING ONLINE, YOU NEED EVERY FRACTION OF A SECOND THAT YOU CAN GET.

STAY OUT NEAR THE WALL ON THE BACKSTRETCH, AND THEN DIVE INTO TURN THREE LIKE YOU DID INTO TURN ONE. YOU'LL HAVE MORE SPEED INTO TURN THREE, SO TRY TO EASE THE CAR INTO THE TURN SLIGHTLY INSTEAD OF TURNING THE CAR ABRUPTLY LEFT. STAY LOW THROUGH THE CORNER AND THEN COME OFF TURN FOUR NEAR THE WALL. STAY OUT NEAR THE WALL AS YOU ENTER THE TRI-OVAL AND THEN GENTLY TURN THE CAR INTO THE TRI-OVAL. TRY TO BE SMOOTH HERE AS WELL AND NOT HORSE THE CAR DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THE TRACK IN THE TRI-OVAL.

NASCAR 3 TALLADEGA RACE SETUP
This is a damn good race setup if you drive it smooth. If you loose your momentum, your screwed. If you keep it going this setup will run with just about anybody. Best lap is just over 203 mph at 40 degrees. This is a league winning setup. Check your 4th gear ratio. 3.10 for 70 degrees.
3.05 for colder temps, and 3.15 for warmer temps.

NASCAR 3 TALLADEGA NO-PLATE RACE SETUP
You should be able to run some VERY fast laps with this one after a little practice. My best in the draft is over 221 mph!!! should also work pretty good for qualifying with a small adjustment to the gears and to the grille tape. Start out wide in the turns and turn down to the bottom of the track earlier than you think and then you can keep it off the wall and keep up your momentum for the next straightaway.
