Tight is a term that means the car doesn't want to turn in the corners. The driver will turn the steering wheel but the car doesn't turn as much as he/she thinks it should. The term is only used with corners/turns and not with the front or back stretch. Another word you will hear that means the same as tight is the word 'push'. Another term you will hear is 'loose' and that is the opposite of tight. Loose means the car wants to turn too much in the corner. The driver will turn the steering wheel and the car will turn more than he/she thinks it should. As with tight, the term is only used with corners/turns and not with the front or back stretch. Another word you will hear that means the same as loose is the word 'free'. When a tight car is in the corner it will seem as if the car wants to drift up to the wall. When a loose car is in the corner it will seem as if the car wants to spin out. Tight and loose are relative terms. Everyone sets their cars up differently. The 3 Car was always set up extremely loose, because that's the way Earnhardt liked it--you don't have to turn the wheel so much to get the car to go through the corner. Mark Martin probably likes a tight car; he steers by leaning his whole body into it, so a tight car would more closely feel like the old cars without power steering Mark learned to drive in. You can be tight or loose on the backstretch. It means your rear end got knocked out of alignment and you've got to keep the steering wheel turned to make the car go straight. This will wear you out.
