I assume the race is Sunday evening again? Yes that is correct. We will be utilizing the same Race-Weekend Format as we did for the 2015 neoTrans/Am Series. Full breakdown of the weekend can be found HERE. Both 2016 series will utilize the same format. |

There are 3 good starting points for tuning under "iRacing Setups":
1) Road
2) Mosport
3) Waktinsglen
Tuning Tips:
- To corner-balance the car it is easier to accomplish with the sway-bars not attached, once you have it close, re-attach the swaybar and fine tune the car.
- If the car picks up the inside front tire under hard cornering, it is likely undersprung for the track condiitons. The truck will likely need the springs stiffened. Experiment to find what works best for you with different weather.

Trying to find the race day schedule...saw it somewhere but cannot seem to locate it? Because each Round will follow the same format, we moved the details under Rules & Regulations. You can view it here: socksoutracing.boards.net/thread/203/2016-race-weekend-format-protocolsThe days are listed under the Series Schedule. We've added the link to the OP (Opening Post) |

This calendar is working great. If you use Google calendars, you can add this calendar to your calendar. Also, if anyone is using a calendar app that syncs with Google calendars, you will always have the Socks Out schedule with you.
