When running at Talledaga I cannot get speeds over 170mph on the back
stretch. I've used several different set-up's off the internet and still
nothing. I qualify dead last and run dead last being lapped once or twice by
the leader. PLEASE help.
My car file settings are the same and in-line with the rest of the field.
I've checked to see if a file is missing and have replaced suspect files.

In the Taladega track DIR open "taladega.txt"

Look for the line that says SPDWY ??

change the 1 to a 0

close everything and answer yes to the changes.

This removes the restrictor plate.

Now try DEGA.

I come out of the turns at 192 MPH, so something is wrong with yours.

Is your gas pedal going all the way down?  Is it calibrated?

I have an excelent setup that I got off the Pit's web site.  I can
email it to you if you want to try it.

That DOESN'T fix his problem. Removing the plate will increase his speed,
but it looks like a bad calibration to me.

this is not the answer to your problem.  many people run with the restrictor
plates, and can run 196 mph laps.  Personally, I would check and make sure
that brake assistance is not turned on in your options menu.  also, make
sure your joystick is calibrated properly, and that turning left or right
doesn't affect the acc/brake.  An easy way to check and see if your joystick
is interfering is set the game up to play with the keyboard instead, then
try running talladega.  If you come up to speed right away, you know it is
the joystick setup, if not, then it would have to be either your brake
assist is on, your setup is not right, or you have a corrupt talladega data
file.  By the way, if that stuff doesn't help, I would try moving the
current cars directory somewhere else, and starting fresh with the cars
directory on your cd, because I am not so sure that the car file settings
for your car should necessarily match the opponents, and this could throw
some things off.
