But the '/carsmax 23' command allows 23 racers to drive and finish.
(Please don't fix this bug by removing the ability to have 23 racers! )

Sure there were 23 people racing? Usually it'll say race full and won't let more than 20 people on the track.

Yes, very sure.

According to stuff read in other posts here the command has to be done once the server is already started, not in the config file. A reverse grid of 23 in the fo8 really is a little wild!

haha nice workaround, this is somethign I'd like to see. Seems weird the cars found their grid posistions and everyting. Now when are we getting 40 car grids
