[FSPA] GB at CarPool (video mode)

[Paul Liam McGlone]

You should learn to shoot the ramps.  Very fulfilling.  Really, though, there are other strategies, but it is hard to play much without “accidentally” starting a mode.   

I’m thinking this type of change has to be done between seasons.   I say that without looking at the preplay list, but really that shouldn’t make a difference.

In my opinion, avoiding progress on a pinball machine just so you can play the video mode over and over is an awful, unfun way to play pinball.
