Thanks! I knew I was going to have to use some avoidance skills after the poor qualifying run but there were more wrecks than I was expecting for top split. It did have some good battles though. Definitely fun and a better finish than I thought… so I’ll take it
Thank you… I appreciate it! Ya tires are the key to ARCA. Especially with no tire changes. Typically I run a higher offset cause I don’t like to turn the wheel so far left. I usually shoot for around 45* turning and if I ever get to 90*, I know I’m turning way too much and just scrubbing my tires to slow down instead of properly using the brakes. I think I added +3 to the setup which I think default was +6… so +9. Of course it’s personal preference but what helped a lot was running a test drive and running all out and seeing how many laps it took to not turn the tachometer red. Then I ran another, turning as little as possible while still getting rotation from riding the brakes a little on entries, to push the weight onto the front tires so the car can dig in while turning and the lap count was dramatic. Then it’s just bout finding a balance between being fast and saving tire. Also, listening to the tires helps quite a bit too. By no means am I an expert but these were a couple things that helped me. Cheers and good luck out there. Hope to catch u on the track
Congrats on the top 9! Solid finish after that chaotic start.

Great run dude! Really helpful for me as I’m trying to figure out how to save tires better one these long runs!
