Unused Graphics

Some letters and numbers found among the background graphics.

To do: This might be used if the network are hooked up (not yet emulated in MAME), but I don't know if it is possible to start from grid other than the first in a solo race. Investigate further (with a linked real PCB).

Although this sprite is used in the start of the race, this sprite in this particular palette (CPU-only blue bikes) isn't.
