As our usual track is off next week (3/8 mile oval, not complete stop and go but definitely a braking entry track, 15-18* banking), we are going to Pennsylvania motor speedway next week, which is a huge 1/2 (It's really 5/8 mile), with moderate banking. What are some changes I should make? Should I post current setup first, or are there general changed that should be made between smaller and larger tracks...

Free up the car in general. J bar adjustments seem to show up on a bigger track.

That's interesting you said that! When we went, that's exactly what we needed to do! Care was tight as heck throughout the corner, esp in middle. tire temps showed RR way warmer than LR so I knew I was planting RR too hard. Lowered J-bar 1.5" on frame, car freed up and drove great! Thanks.
