F-Zero: Maximum Velocity Update
Logan West

New Members:
Adam Ferguson (57th, Expert B),
Ben Allen (210th, Pawn D) and
Josh Zundel (249th, Novice) all join the ranks. Josh seems to have a bad habit of simply

testing games or something.....It makes for larger gains I suppose!

King:
Leandro Ribeiro (3rd, King A) sets three new track records, continuing to send his overall lap time spiraling downward.
Kalle Videkull (6th, King A) shaves a few more times down, to make such an improvement over such a short period of time deserves special recognition, truly he must be talented.
Nick Harsh (8th, King B) sets the lap record for Pawn 1!
Richard Corrigan (9th, King B) follows through on his threat to enter the top 10. Congrats!
Clement Leung (14th, King C) remains active as does
Fred Just (21st, King D), who gains a place.
Dave Crawford (24th, King D) keeps working away at his times. He's a lot better than most of us at this game eh?

Master:
Roland Pristauz (28th, Master A) gains a place and
Mark Turner (30th, Master A) gains three!
Kevin C. Cabral (41st, Master C) moves up two places and it seems he's finally broken down and used the Jet Vermillion

Expert/Bishop:
Dave Phaneuf (52nd, Expert A) gains a place and has new incentive to play, to get onto the first page again :S
Julien Holmière (53rd, Expert A) deserves special note, This is the second large gain made in two weeks! With a 64 place gain this week and a 53 gain last week, that's 117 places in two weeks! Let's see if he can keep it up
Mickael Girard (54th, Expert A) makes some improvements as well.
Ryan Jenning (62nd, Expert B) makes one of the largest gains I've heard of, 99 places! Not done in only one week though
Jerrad Neff (83rd, Bishop B) gains 19 places,
Wille Karhunen (86th, Bishop B) gains 11,
Gregg Richardson (90th, Bishop C) worked on his Championship time, and
Silas Verrinder (98th, Bishop D) makes it into the top 100 with a seven place gain.

Knight/Pawn:
Thomas Freeman (107th, Knight B) gains eight,
Matthew P. Collins (120th, Knight D) gains two,
Josh Johnson (132nd, Pawn A) gains 16
This-is-sounding-like-a-recitation-
Paul Magowan (141st, Pawn A) gains seven (he's biding his time until GX gets there)
Fuzzy Willmott (148th, Pawn A) is active,
Brodie Forbes (166th, Pawn B) gains 14,
Panu Karhunen (170th, Pawn B) gains 26!
Alex Pitera (194th, Pawn C) gains 1.
At least this is good for my math

Novice:
David Holliss (246th, Novice) is the sole member of that group.

Thanks y'all, this HAS been a busy week hasn't it?

I've 're-entered' the Top 10. Emphasis on the re bit.

Wait a minute Logan. Thanks for the reconigion, but "not only in one week though"? What's that supposed to mean. I did do all that in one week. I got all my times, then posted, and missed the first update, but I didn't touch the GBASP since then. I played Gamecube games. Maybe I am misunderstanding? If I am, please explain. Thanks a lot!

Ninto: I thought so, but wasn't positive so I just said that. Hope it's all right.

Ryan: From my understanding I thought you had been going through and individually beating Oliviere's times. It sounded to me like a multi-week thing (where you were "hoarding" your times) and then you just posted them all last week (missed the update) and they got posted this week. I apologize for the misunderstanding, I can get Dave to change it if you insist.

That's alright dude. I really don't mind now that you explained it. I understand it now, but I would apperciate it if Dave changed it, but if it's too much of a hassle, forget it. Thanks anyway!

Well, this is more or less a test,

The first post on this board in a looooong time I imagine! Maybe it should get active again!
