Sean Burke's and my K2 time with Sly Joker
Post by Mike on Apr 26th, 2003, 11:44am

I've posted a new PR for K2 with Sly Joker.

K2: 28"27-26"37-26"31-26"46-26"44 - 2'13"85 SJ Tr

No matter how hard I tried, I never got an opening lap below 28" (the best so far was 28"15), and my best 1-boost lap is 26"21.

An 28" opener might well be possible, as well as 26" flat following laps, giving a total time of 2'12"00. Even with these optimal times, Sean Burke's K2 time is still a half second lower. In doing this, I question[1] the validity of his K2 time.

Photographic proof of my PR is available upon request.

Michael

Edit: [1] I'm aware of the possibility, that Sean did his PR with another machine than Sly Joker. If this was indeed the case I will gladly retract this message.

Just out of curiosity, I'd like to know from Sean himself what time he got for his first lap for his championship circuit Time.

Sean's new set of times does have some oddities. I will study them further and make some decisions. Hopefully Sean will be around in the near future to explain things.

[this message is also attached as a reply to Sean Burke's time submission post]

Upon further review, I have disallowed Sean's Pawn 1 lap, Bishop 1 lap, and Championship course times. I felt this was necessary because there are questions about these times, and I have no way to contact Sean. I don't consider Sean to be lying, but there may be some errors in his submission. My hope is still that he will return here soon so we can settle these concerns.

His Knight 2 course time has also been questioned, but I am allowing it for now. The time seems unlikely considering the vehicle listed, but in comparison to his other times and his lap time for K2, I will give him the benefit of the doubt on this one.

Not that I don't trust him, but it seems odd that he has a worst Best LaP time than me and yet such a better 5 lap time. That's why I questioned his first lap...with that information I can gather the truth on his time.

i played K2 with the SJ for about 20 minutes and was able to achieve the following time..

best first lap 27"78

best 1 boost lap 25"92

total race time 2'12"00

.. i can prob go lower..but not much lower.. did sean go a 2'11? not sure whats his overal ranking..but that would be pretty fast time

It's possible that Sean made some errors in his submission, and may have simply listed the wrong vehicle for K2. Unfortunately, he had been away for months before this, so he may be gone that long (or longer) again. I don't have a valid e-mail address for him.
