Nascar: Control Method?

Hello all, I'm controlling Nascar via a (Gravis Pro) joystick and keyboard and am interested in how people have this setup configured. I originally had the two fire buttons set up for accellerate and brake, but have now gone to using the joystick Y-axis for these actions. This gives me much improved throttle control at the cost of a slight reduction in steering accuracy. My initial thoughts are that this is an improvement. What do others think (and do they care?!?)?

AG> AG> What do others think (and do they care?!?)? I've been using a small hand held joystick. I believe its a Mach I. I use one button for braking. Steering, gas and reverse are all done using the joystick. It took awhile to get use to, but now I can hang with the best of them. By using the stick for acceleration, I can ease back on the gas at the short tracks with getting loosing control out of the corners. I really like my joystick, but I finally broke down and ordered a Formula T1. It should get here on Tuesday. I can't wait. Kelvin
