Do you adjust damping and pressures to compensate for the increased grip levels?

Never run on concrete?? Enjoy the grip, especially at Lincoln. I don't know that there will be any big setup change, as your balance should still be the same. I don't know what you run for air pressures, but my guess would be that you'll want to raise them a bit for the concrete.
Bring an extra pair of shoes for course walks; the surface gets tacky from all the tire rubber, and your shoes will literally stick to the ground and pick up every single rock and piece of crack filler. Seriously. And bring clothes for any kind of weather; expect it to be 50 degrees and rainy one day, then 90 degrees and sunny the next. Nationals is a blast!!
