So I had Talladega off my NASCAR CD converted to IndyCar Racing II, and gave
it a spin. Worked fine, except for one thing... I definately, definately am
running my IndyCar with a restrictor plate! I can't get the thing to go over
185 or so, even on the back straight. It's like I don't have any more
horsepower. Playing with the setups, or using other setups, doesn't help at
all.

Other tracks I've tried so far (like C***te and Atlanta) work dandy, and
I can zip around 230's and faster.

Is there some sort of setting in one of the files that I can change to turn
off this "restrictor plate"?

Thanks

open the talladega.txt file...look for this line

SPDWY 0 42 45

                 -change the 0 to a 1, save file, restart sim, reset 6th
gear, rock.

Isn't it a 1 to a 0 that removes the plate ?  /TomH

Tried it this afternoon just for kicks.  Found that changing the '1' to
a '0' slows ya down 10-15 mph.  Full tank of fuel, was turning 240mph
laps.  Usually run 250-255.  You know what else could be--->They give
you 3 different *.txt files when its first converted, don't they?  Seems
I recall that, it has been a while.  The one you want I think was called
talfast.txt. Make sure to change it to Taladega.txt & go crankin.

 Hope this helps!

In ICR2, the 1 or 0 in the SPDWY specifies the wings for the car
(speedway vs. road).  Does this really apply to the physics of the car
on the track or just the "graphics"?

Note, this is with the default settings. I expect my speeds will increase
even more once I play in the garage a while.

So, what should I do with 6th gear to prevent my engine from blowing, but
still get good speed. Anyone?

(btw, this is ICR2, if that wasn't clear).
