I usually give it three or four tries and then go on to another race. Playing one race too many times in a row will cause a meltdown. The most frustrating race for me is Silence, cause you need alot of things to go right to get a good time. I try to only play for about 20-30 minutes at a time to prevent my head from exploding.

Lol...this has nothing to do with the topic, but I just recognized your little motto under your name: "Ludacris speed...go!!!" Space Balls rulz! lol.
I like it when Dark Helmet says "Ah, buckle this!" and "we're surrounded by a$$h*les!"
anyways...yeah...my hardest and most comsuming track would be firefield at the moment...I'm ok with my other times...but I wan't to lower my silence into the 1'52"xx zone before I die...thats one of my "life goals" lol. Bye! Al

Well I just ran some MC1 and tried to slide through the dirt area and let me say that if I ever need to induce an aneurysm I now know how.
After that I calmed myself by playing some Silence. After being bumped directly into the wall, foolishly I might add, I quit before another blood vessel popped in my already trouble brain.
My goal right now is to get my MC1 and WL1 below 2'00. I just got my Silence under 2'00 last night with a 1'57"46 or something like that off the top of my head. I used to have all those kinds of times but my original F-Zero is MIA so for now I'm starting over. I see some flashes of my old brilliance, I just need some practice to remove my rust.
As for Spaceballs, it is one of the best movies ever. I felt I needed a quote involving speed for and F-Zero board and it sounded good. There's a store around here called the Buckle and one time I was in there twirling my keys around and the girl working there told me I might hurt someone. I looked at her and blurted out, "Ah, buckle this." Not often you get to use that line in your everyday life.

RunAway:
If you think just trying to get through those dirt patches cleanly will make you go nuts, just wait until you actually make it through perfectly going 478 km/h and then screw up later in the race. Now that really will drive you insane. Trust Me...
Kev and RunAway: Can you give us your best MC1 time and best single boost lap to date?

My best MC1 time is 2'00"14 and lap is 23"39. Nothing to hold a parade over but I sleep well at night.

That time being 1:59.60 as i said in a previous post.
Also Top Speed,
You said that on your first lap you only go through the second patch of dirt, what is your best first lap time doing that? This way if it is lower than my first lap time i can also use that method.

The best run I can remember on top of my head right now is 25"66. Once I get my time under 1'58"80 then I'm gonna start learning to go through both patches. Its a matter of 0"05 seconds now, hehe.
Oh...and you shouldn't listen to Rich Luke. He smells too bad. Just kidding Rich!

Kev: I too have also tried just going through the 2nd patch. However, this is not that much easier. The best I ever did with this method is 25"62. However, my best lap ever (going through both patches) is 25"46.
Also, I used to practice alot without going through the patches at all. Just going aound them, I have done a 25"74 on the 1st lap. It should not be all that difficult to break 25"80 on a consistent basis without even going through the patches.
Don't focus too much on the 1st lap. Too go under 1"59'00, you will need to average a minimum of 23"33 for each of the final 4 laps even if get a first lap of say.... 25"5x. The other laps are very important too. You must keep all of your racing skills sharp in order for the "perfect" race to take place.

I just tried not going through any patches and i got a 26.16, the rest of my laps were 23.38, 23.36, 23.34, 23.35 which is a 1.59.59 new PR but only by 1 hundreth of a second, not much to brag about.
I just do not understand why i cant get my 1st lap time down it is starting to drive me insane!!!!

It is hard not to when you come out of the dirt patches going 450km/h and still win up doing a 26.xx!!!!!!
Especially with people saying that they can do a 25.7x without going through any dirt parches!

Kev: If you come out of the dirt patches going only 450 km/h, that pretty much defeats the purpose. A speed of 450 km/h will produce about the same time as just going around the dirt patches.
Just looking at your 5-lap breakdown of times, it sounds as if you have a flaw in your boosting technique (getting 2 bumps from the Golden Fox at the beginning of the race).
