everything changes, springs, shocks, ride heights, stagger, gear, front end geometry. You need to talk to someone that runs that track that you can TRUST to help get you in the ball park at the shop then tweak the car at the track.

Why are you asking? Do you have a Late Model?
Actually - with the right car , with the right set up. Not much more than to change the gear in the rear. The Penske shocks we run can be changed just by turning a knob on the side of the shocks.
The ride heights can stay the same. You carry more momentum on a large track than you do on a small one.
But tires are the key to winning any race. Pull the wrong compound or the wrong stagger or the wrong tread and you aren't going to go as good.
Then again tonight A guy I help out put on a AR 33 that was wore out because he had to start 13th out of 20 cars at Dog Hollow Speedway, a large 4/10ths mile track - and he caught a couple of cautions at the end of the race and won!
