Nascar2... 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. Paul -------------------------------------- To reply by email, please take out the words REMOVETHIS from my email address
That DOESN'T fix his problem. Removing the plate will increase his speed, but it looks like a bad calibration to me. >>Nascar2... >>When running at Talledaga I cannot get speeds over 170mph on the back >>stretch.

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.
