For shame all you Plateless drivers. Why not get another editor
and adjust the grip to "slot car" performance or better yet super-glue.
Dega is a "restrictor Plate" track and anyone getting speeds without a
plate is making bogus claims. This is similar to the Indycar Racing 1
drivers who would take a Buick engine package to Michigan and using
illeagal ammounts of boost, record incredible lap times.
