Would love to see ya out there Tex. If you only race one car, you'll only race 2-3 times if you loose. Since there so many people, it's usually 2 out of 3, and move on. So if you loose early, you'll have more then enough time to hang out. 
As for setup. You have the steering right. A lot of the fast cars, that are just drag cars, can barely turn around in the street. Most run down the track, and sit, till someone turns them around, or walks them back.
There are not a lot of electrics at the moment, but that is chaning. There were several fast electrics last time. And it's still anything goes. Obviously they try to pair up vehicles as close as possible.
For nitro, come warm. They frown on tuning at the track. i.e., make a run, loose, pull out the screwdriver to lean it out a little more before the next pass. It's time people don't have.
The biggest problem is that when your name is called, a LOT of people can't get their vehicle started in 5 min or less.
There is usually 2 hours before racing starts to get things dialed in. I usually just make sure my stuff is ready to start, and hope it does ok.
