When I run Taladega with the restrictor plate on using the "Ace" setup and
starting from the back of the field, I'm doing well to finish in the top 20.  
When I remove the restrictor plate by editing the Taladega.txt file, the
competitive situation is reversed.  Now I can pass the entire field within the
first lap.  It's as if my team is the only one that knows that restrictor
plates are not required.  

It's fun to blow everyone else away once or twice, but I need to make everyone
else faster.  Do I need to change something besides the "Speedway.TXT" line of
the track file?

<snip>

Edit RELS value for race performance and (I think) BLAP for qualifying.
Higher RELS = faster opponents, lower BLAP = faster qualifying.

I haven't tried editing taladega.txt for competetive qualifying in
no-plate mode, but "RELS 180" should give strong opposition in race;-)

ed,

tell me how to edit the files to remove the restrictor plate.
the only way i can win at talladega is to run the qualifying setup
with 4th gear set at 3.50. bring front spoiler up all the way and drop
the back wing all the way down. thanks.

Could someone possibly repost the setup? I missed it and would really
like to see it.  I have one car that runs about 209, but compared to
what most people use, that's relatively slow.

How do you make your car go so fast? My speed record is 204... and that's
slow! So could you tell me your secret tune tips.. ;)

Yes you need to increase your opponent speed to about 155%  this will
start to make the race interesting
