5. Game Modes
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

  -------------
   Single Race
  -------------
This option you can choose a driver and track.  Also you can change the
length of the race from 3% - 100% and put damage with yellow and black
flags.

  --------------
   Championship
  --------------
This option is somewhat similar to single race but different.  The
first thing is that you must choose a driver and choose what type of
championship you want to do.

  ---------------
   Race the King
  ---------------
In this mode you can race against the king Richard Petty at ten
different tracks.  Beat him at all ten tracks you'll unlock something

 ---------------------------------
  7.1 Unlocking the Montana Track
 ---------------------------------
There are two ways to get the Montana Track in the game.  One way of
getting the track is to go to the Race against the King mode and beat
Richard "The King" Petty at all ten tracks.

The other way of getting the Montana track is to enter a code within
four seconds.  First you go to Single Race then highlight Select Track
then enter the following code within four seconds:

L1, L1, R1, R1, Square, L2, L2, R2, R2, Circle

 ------------------------
  7.2 How to Get Legends
 ------------------------
There is only one way of getting the Legends such as David Pearson,
Davey Allison, and the other legends in the game by entering codes
within four seconds.  This method requires the same process as to get
the Montana Track in the game (shorten way) but you have to highlight
Select Driver:

===============
Alan Kulwicki
===============
L1, R1, L2, R2, Square, R1, L1, R2, L2, Circle

===============
Bobby Allison
===============
L1, R1, L1, R1, Square, L2, R2, L2, R1, Circle

      and current driver will change to the corresponding driver the
