Race setups....start with loose???

On a 40 gallon tank, should the car start out with a slight push or loose condition (in order to compensate for the loss of fuel and thus balancing during the fulll length of the fuel). +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+

in nascar as it goes on through the race my car gets looser so i think you should start off a little tight.

I've found that starting with a slight push is best, which tends to go away as the fuel is consumed. I've found that my IndyCar setups are much more consistent through a run that those in NASCAR. I'm not sure why this is, could be that I suck setting up stock cars! Steve Grant

Which is it? A push is when the car is tight and loose is when the car wants to spin out. I think you meant the car tightens up as you race.maybe not. Gene
