The thanks go to Shaggy whose original postings are located in the General Discussion forum in the NASCAR Thunder 2004 Message Boards. The topic of discussion is titled: "Setups for Career". You can also find the setups as one of the FAQs at cheatcodes.com. These are the notes he wrote. CALIFORNIA Change the 4th gear to get max speed for your car only ONE increment at a time. This is close but not exactly what I had my rookie year. INFINEON This track is about consistency. You need to tack every turn the same way. I hate this track but usually spend 5 or 6 laps of practice just to get in the groove. Also I get single file as soon as possible, even if I'm on the pole. I'll let the outside guy go if he's beside me. Get single file then start picking them off. They break alot earlier than I do on both road courses which is why I'm so fast at them and how I won my rookie year on these tracks on veteran level. LAS VEGAS This setup nearly lapped the whole field on Legend. Depending on your motor, adjust the gear accordingly. MARTINSVILLE Martinsville is MAINLY about getting into the corner and off. When you nail that you'll leave the competition, and the setup won't matter as much as other tracks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - SECTION 4 THE NON-SEASON TRACKS & RACES Most of these tracks must be earned with lightning plates. You can still use these races for a season if you customize the schedule.
