You know I kind of had a feeling that that would probably happen. If It does happen I wonder if the DD Cup tracks should be included in the Time Trail Competitions.

If the DD tracks are included with GX, then yes, we will compete on them, but in a competition separate from the GX rankings.
The problem is ... should we be able to do what Gregg is hoping and include the regular FZX times in our existing competition, or will the updated graphics and different controllers cause different "maxed" times?

If the DD Tracks would be in the competition probably it would not be with the original F-Zero X tracks and maybe would require that all times would have to be made one the Gamecube version.
or
They could be included as Extra tracks in the F-Zero X section but wouldn't count in the overall like Death Race. And the ones that have the n64DD version could also participate.
Does that sound ok?
EDIT: By the way I alittle while ago I stumbled across this site:
http://www.af.wakwak.com/~koni/
Seems to be a site of a F-zero player. He has times for all of the tracks, including the DD ones too. Another section has clips of some of the movies performed in some of the tracks. Two of the clips are in the DD tracks: Fire Field 2 and Silence 3.

I think there should be a mini competition for the new tracks only, not part of the universal competition or the normal N64 competition. Just for fun. After all, its not really an official game and it will probably be hard to get unless you preorder or buy the game early, just like the bonus disc with Zelda...
Well thats just my take on it anyway...
When it comes to allowing people to compete in the regular tracks, but with the updated game, I guess the best is to just wait and see if there are any differences... I hope not since it will be fun to play the game in 60-Hz mode, just a bit faster

Sorry if I didn't clarify the DD competition properly, but yes, it would be a separate chart from the normal N64 competition, and it would not be included in Universal.
And yeah, as I mentioned before, hopefully there would be no differences if they included FZX with FZGX. So everything Mark said is right on target.

By the way, the player at the site I mentioned earlier (http://www.af.wakwak.com/~koni/) Has some very good times. If anyone could e-mail him and ask if he would want to send them here his times would be a great addition. ^^

Wow that's really cool! ^^
Is he by any chance able to make video clips of himself playing?
I've got some clips of some of the tracks myself:
Big Blue 3 Big Foot Devil's Forest 4 Sand Ocean 3 Space Plant 2
