Square has to be 255 40/17.

Fastest lap I've ever laid down at High Plains was my first ever club race with a staggered setup. I've run square since I was able to get the wheels. Still can't match that lap.

Running square is more of an optional set up. High Plains looks pretty fast with only a few tight corners that would require a ton of front end grip that the square set up will give you. Going staggered in those situations will reduce your aero disadvantage from the front tire hanging slightly out of the wheel well.

Figure tight technical courses square will be faster. Wide open fast flowing courses staggered will be faster.

Are you on the gas coming out of 2 all the way through 3 and onto the straight, or do you lift a little for 3?

100% on the gas from exit of 2 until brake for 4.
