Sil: 1'04"513
DF2.Speed: 2469
Sil2.Speed: 1998
RR.Speed: 3000
SO2.Speed: 1777

I too have decided to use the floating technique (Boosting upwards to gain hieght) to get me some good speeds. It allowed me to attain 3000 in Rainbow Road much more easily. I almost got it on my first try with this technique.
What I did to get 3000 in RR was float off the last part of the track with no gates before the finish line, then started boosting upwards to give me more hieght then do a DTD from where I felt was a good spot. Give it a try if you like

Good thinking on the RR speed strategy, Dave. Although I got 3000 on RR via a different route, I have fiddled around with the technique you describe above and I suspect it is the better option (at least, if one can do the floating part).
