I've seen a few posts with people mentioning restrictor plates and having them on and off at certain tracks (ie. Talledega). Is there an option for removing or adding rstrictor plates that I don't know about, or is it just some racing humor? -Mark

Mark, It's not documented, but if you go into the Nascar\tracks\taladega\taladega.txt file with a text editor like Windows Notepad and look at the 3rd line it says "spwy 1 #### ####". Change the "1" to a "0" (zero, not the letter o). Save the changes and next time you run Talladega you will notice a lot more speed. But be prepared to adjust your set ups. 225MPH is harder to handle than 195! Mark W.
