I working on a stern Grand Prix and every time I shoot the centre scoop under the car it returns the ball straight down the middle.

Is there a way to adjust the angle the ball is returned so it doesn’t drain majorly of the time.

Quoted from pinballcorpse:

I had a Dale Jr at one time many years ago (same game). I remember the same problem. I don't have a photo of it, but I seem to remember placing a small piece of mounting tape near the top of the scoop eject to alter the trajectory.
It was a bit cheesy, but a) it was not visible while playing, b) required no major modifications and c) it worked.
I don't seem to recall being able to adjust the scoop.
Anyway, hope you find an easy fix.

That is a great idea. Going to try it out now.
