I have read in a few place that you can remove the restrictor plates at Taladega by editing the "spdwy" line in the track file. I found this line and did the change but when I then went and started the game and tried it out I was not getting any better results than before. Has anyone tried this with any luck? Did I do something wrong? Pleas e-mail me if you can be of any help Thanks Mike

In Nascar 1 (I haven't tried it in 2), change the first number in the Spwy line from a 0 to 1, or vice-versa. It worked fine for me. I hit 225 before the motor exploded. Good luck.

I modified the file in N2, and didn't see ANY difference in the speed at all. Apparently there's more to just setting a number to 0 in N2.

But I shouldn't really need to change anything to notice the difference, unless Sierra has changed they way it works. In N1, I could blow the engine really easy if I didn't use a taller 4th. In N2, though, I got the same speeds as before, even with changing 4th.

I removed the plate and got 232 MPH down the back stretch, but coming into turn # 3 I hit the wall and skinned myself up. I also run a 3.20 gear in forth and put a windspeed of 30 mph blowing down the backstretch. But this is not for the timid..... Dave

Don't take this like I think your stupid but you did save it?

No offense taken... I had thought I'd saved it. I went back in after getting some sleep, and it worked like a charm, so I dunno...<shrug>
