These have been removed and replaced with dashes (-----), as they are not changeable within the NASCAR game. There also was a bit of confusion with the phrase "Steering Lock" in the NASCAR setups. "Wheel Lock" is now appropriately used (as this is how the NASCAR game displays it). =========================================================================== CHANGES FROM VERSION 2.0 =========================================================================== This version fixes a small formatting glitch when the amount of fuel was less than 10 gallons.
