I hit 206 and i am sure it can be more.

pressure on the right 60 psi (both tires)
pressure on the left 55 psi (both tires)
camber to lowest at rear
min spoilers
fuel 11 gals
shock rear right 85%

I passed finish with 193 max. left the turn after finish with 190 max and hit
206 in slipstream short before the next turn. But the trick is in how you get
around the turn before the finsh. I manage to drift it hard enough without
letting go of the accel. once.

Been there, done that, gone faster in the draft than that easy.
My secret is..... a secret. I'll trade it for some good setup info
for other tracks...

Sure so can anyone. First take off the restrictor plate. This
is done by changing the 1 in the "Speedway" line of the Taladega.txt
file to a Zero, or is it the other way around I can never remember.
Not fast enough still? Just make the temperature 120 degrees
and edit the drivers2.txt file to give yourself 999 power, 999
traction, and 0 drag.
I don't think these changes are really secret though.
With version 1.2, random weather, and no other modifications to
any of the files (track or drivers) I would say top speed would
approach 201, I myself have hit mid 198's.
