I would have tried to go between the left and middle cars, had a fiery crash and then blamed the game for my poor decisions.

There was something eating everyone
And the sunshine fund was low

What would you do, had this happen a few times and it really ruins a race.


I'd guess that race was coined up from the title screen immediately after a reset.  I tried that for awhile and I couldn't handle the crazy  randomness that would sometimes happen... like that.  But that may be where you have to start to get 142 cars.

I totally missed the TG poll/post,  Congrats Johnny Mac for being the First to get a 54.96 Qualify lap on Pole Position! 



Right there with you though!

Well here we go boys and girls. A 213.70,  Now it's all about the cars.. or is it?  Ran this today and it's my personal best. 67,210.  But I messed up on the 2nd lap and that 52.02 is the 3rd!  So now, If you put my best times for each lap together it starts to get interesting. My best for each lap are: 1st 55.66  2nd 52.02  3rd 52.02  4th 52.70.  Adding them up equals 212.40 then add the .5 or so that gets added into your final time and it's looking like it's possible for a 212.99/213.00  Which would blow 67,310 away.  But my god that would have to be an actual perfect run... either way, gotta keep playing!

No PB score this time... just the fastest single lap ever done on Pole Position!  Surprised myself!  Now just have to get a few in a row.

Brag post alert.  So I'm officially on a trading card for playing an arcade game! I made it on one by getting all the Pole Position 2 WR's.  Really can't believe it. Even got interviewed for the trading card spotlight on the website!  I think it's cool as hell! and glad to see there's still some fun left in the arcade world!  You can check out the interview at the link below.
