>I have been playing NASCAR Racing 2 for about year now, and I decided that
>I would go to the NASCAR Racing 2 directory, in Windows Explorer, and check
>out what was there.  I then saw that in every track directory that there is
>.txt file which you can alter.  You can change things form, how many cars
>you want in the race, to how fast you want the Pit Road speed limit.  I
>then found that you can race Talladega (the only restrictor plate race in
>the game) without a ristrictor plate.  I have gotten speeds of up to 220
>MPH.  It isn't that hard to do, and you don't have to download anything.
>Here is the way you do it.  Go to the NASCAR Racing 2 directory, then go to
>the Talladega track directory.  From there go to the Taladega.txt file that
>should be there, and double click it.  Next,  go to where it has SPDWY, and
>then next to it the should be a set of three numbers.  Go to the first one,
>and change it from one, to zero.  And from there you are all set.  The only
>problem that I have had is that the setup for the race is going to be
>drastically altered from what it was to what it is supposed to be.  Another
>thing is that the AI can go just as fast, which makes for some good racing.
> If you need any help, or want my setup, just e-mail me at

>online, don't do this.  I have tried it and it my computer froze up, and I
>had many other problems.  I am not responsible for any damage to the
>computer, or thereof.  I also have other things that you can alter in the
>game, if you want them just e-mail me.  Hope you enjoy it and good luck!

>But, not only have I done that, I have altered the Race.lp, Pace.lp, and
>Pass.lp files as well.  Now, I have fixed a lot of problems with the
>computer cars passing.  I also altered the tracks as well.  I made my own
>Daytona, Indianapolis, and Texas tracks.  I got information from NASCAR
>Online, and used that when I developed the new tracks.  I also have fixed
>the backgrounds of every track, and I made the grandstands and infield
>people move.  So now they aren't "froze", they actually move.  Some of the
>people also get up and walk.  The pits look different too.  Now there is a
>crew at every pit Station for every driver, not just yours.  My next
>project that I am working on is making the crew move, like the real ones.
>That would probably take a little longer.
