I'm back after a bit of a Hiatus

Hello,
It's been a long time since I've been involved with F-Zero Central and I have a pretty good reason for it, too. Some 6 months ago, I lost my copy of Maximum Velocity, apparently due to if falling out of my pocket. Imagine my frustration at that. I had unlocked JV the hard way, gotten the trophies for all the cars and all the circuits, and had a fairly good Championship run as well. And it all went down the drain.
Fast forward to last week. I managed to find a used copy of Maximum Velocity to replace my original copy. Therefore, I decided to come on back. Of course, starting from scratch means I have a lot of work ahead of me. I'm already over halfway through completing all the circuits on master with each car again, but knowing how hard it was to unlock JV, I went ahead and used the code.
And so ends the tale of how I lost my original copy of MV and looked for a replacement for several months. It's pretty hard to find around here.
With that being said, I've never really had a chance to communicate with the other FZC users... So I'll go ahead and tell you what I like and don't like about F-Zero MV and see what I do or don't have in common with some of you. Here goes:
Favorite Car: Falcon MK-II Favorite Track: Tie between Tenth Zone East Plummet and Stark Farm 3. Mainly because of the huge shortcuts and the path split, respectively. Least Favorite Track: Synobazz Explosive. Especially on Master Difficulty. Most frustrating moment: Trying to beat the Knight League on Master with the Fighting Comet. It took me several tries to make it past Beacon Port and Synobazz without getting rammed to death by the computer racers and the strategically placed dummy cars (the yellow and green drones) Biggest annoyance: The fact that the CPU drivers drive in the pit zone, as if they need it, and then ram you out of the pit while you're trying to recharge. Favorite Moment: Discovering the shortcuts on Tenth Zone East Plummet for the first time. Biggest thing I'm curious about: Sometimes I wonder if Fire Field is a post-apocalyptic Earth. Since the various tracks are assumed to be on different planets I think it's possible. Also there's the apparent burned-out city in the background of the second FF track. Also makes me realize I have way too much time on my hands thinking about things like that when I should be concentrating on the track. 
That's all for now.TEXT

OK, I screwed up a bit. I apparently forgot to log in before I posted. And Since I'm a message board newbie I should've realized that my name went in the box where I put "It's been long enough."
Anyway, This is Clinton Yelvington. I joined FZC back when Maximum Velocity came out. That is my post just above this one. I guess we all make mistakes...

Hi Clinton!! Welcome back to F-Zero Central! Looks a little different now, huh? LOL
Back then we were the F-Zero Maximum Velocity Players Site, and the Records page looked like this. That was June 28, 2001. June 13 will be the site's 2nd anniversary.

I finally got back "on" again, but now I don't think I can be on reguarly enough to do the (special event by Dave Crawford, KEJ and Mike Kircher) . Given since Mike Kircher won't be ready til July, I am ready to wait that time, since me and my family are moving into a new house. I am sorry I cannot meet the June 6th deadline, but with the move probably taking up to the 3rd of June, that leaves me with 72 hours to get unpacked AND organize the system. Can't do it. Maybe, however, I can start as early as June 14,2003, but I could possibly try harder and try to release the tournament as a 2 year celebration (on June 13th.) Go ahead and shoot at this topic while I am gone, and I will read it and see what you guys think. Note to dave: I said a special event, but people are just GONNA ask. Might as well reveal it. Me and my dumb mouth.  Kortnevensky Everett Jackson
