There are gas cars raced on this track also which can make it slippery but grip should come up a bit. I got the car going ok but just need overall more turn in. Just wondering if anyone has a setup for these conditions that works well.
Oasis- you'll be glad to know that I have one. Before I go on, let me tell you guys something-
Today was my first day with the Mission and it was awesome. No, I didn't say it was OK, or that it had a lot of potential- IT WAS FREAKING AWESOME!!!!! I've been running my Yok SP's all this year and setting the lap record at every race in both mod and stock. (I'm not bragging- there aren't any sponsored drivers here...lol) SO to say that my Yok setups are good is an understatement. They've been great. However, I got a Mission from my buddy Sigearhead a couple weeks ago but haven't run it until today. I called Adrian at Scumacher (thanks for the help Adrian) and he put me on an asphalt setup. I ran it today with some preglued CS27's, amd it was soooooo freakin wicked! I'll put ut like this: I was scared to TOUCH the setup because I was afraid I would mess it up. I honestly can't imagine it being any better. It was carrying MAD corner speed. Well, I won't bore you anymore with my blabbering, but I still can't get over how well it carried corner speed. Now whewre did I put Paul Lemieux's phone number... I'm gonna invite him to Memphis to get schooled...lol...

basically the left set up in the manual with red/blue springs. The yok springs I used are very close to the Scuei red/blue so use red/blue if you have them. I had to use a bunch of spacers to make the Yok springs work....
