Masked Chicken

The last thing that you'll need is the Masked Chicken Setup Utility. It's located at:

The Masked Chicken Setup Utility - Late Models
The Masked Chicken Setup Utility - Sprints

This little gem is going to save you LOTS of time & trouble by allowing you to download setups from the Internet. DTR setups are in binary files, and the only way that you can make use of them is with this utility. There's no way of getting around it, you really need this utility. Get it and figure out how it works before you even start trying to race online. Go to the link above. It's located under "Dirt Track Racing", "Setup Utility 2.0" The easiest way that I've found to use this utility is to download the setups to my DTR setup folder,which is located at Program Files\Ratbag\Dirt Track Racing\Setups, then open up the Chicken. Your downloaded files will be listed in the "Custom Setup Files" box. Just hit the "Import" button and it will transfer the setups into DTR. They will show up when you open the game.

There's one situation where you do it a little different, though. Some Internet setups are zipped. If you download a set that looks something like "setupname.zip" be sure to first download it to a temp folder, then unzip to your Setup folder.
