Sorry I took so long to reply. My feet have been REAL bad the last few days and My right shoulder has joined the party. Now back to Your Question. Simple expaination is: a Loose car is a fast car until one reaches the point of too loose and then the car spins out and/or hits the wall with the back of car 1st.

A tight car is a slow car because one always has to get out of the gas to slow down to turn and regain front grip and watch everybody else go past...

FYI in the rest of the racing world they use different words to describe handling on the car. Understeer is Tight, Oversteer is Loose.

In NASCAR we call 'Tar wear "used up,worned out or FLAT!" The rest of the World calls it "Tyre degradation and deflated." What We call "Marbles" (the bits of 'Tar that gather at the top of the groove) they call "Clag"

Now here is a bit more techy explaination.

As a rule a Day Track is warmer and tends to be loose due to oils coming out of the asphalt and the Marbles getting softer due to heat.

A Night Track is just the opposite.

Race 2 of the Contender round. Joey moving on. Kyle, Jr., Newman, and Harvick in trouble.

Just a reminder that if someone has an aching desire to make the threads next season, let me know.
