I find it amusing that in all the forums that the off road and on road guys bash us oval racers, but you never hear the oval guys talking trash about them. Why is that??
Maybe because they have not tried oval.
Don't knock it if you have not tried it. It isn't as easy as it looks.
Oval is very, very different from offroad. It's 25% driving skill and 75% setup.
Offroad is 80% driving skill and 20% setup.
Basically Oval is mostly setup, and offroad is all driving.
Well, if thats true, please tell me why I always hear you off road guys talking about set up?? Ya know, springs shock oils and toe in.
Also, the last time I ran off road, there wasn't a lot of skill in the driving. It was full throttle into the turn and use the other guy to help get through the corner.( Also known as a hack fest!)
In oval, set up is iprotant, but so is driving the correct line, especialy when you're talking that .001 of a second could mean winning or finishing second. So I will respectfuly
disagree. A good set up is useless without a good driver and a good driver can not make up for a bad set up.
