Thank christ for the new comment, it was getting progressively harder to fit all my emoticons in to that edited post! ![]() Not a fan of Mario Raceway mate? -- Royal raceway tonight, got a 2'30"76 and was on pace for a much cleaner 3laps soon after but on the last lap my leg cramped up severely (not moving enough during sessions ) and I fell into the water before the last corner. Urgh!So I rage quit for the evening. I'll be back for a better time though for sure, this is a fun track! ![]() ![]() -- Bowser castle attempts tonight. Was expecting this track to be more annoying, apart from the whomps it wasn't too tricky to get used to. Didn't quite manage to beat No64DDs time here but not too far off with a 1'58"50 ![]() Do you plan on doing a leaderboard update this week Kartmaster? Edited by LinusHofmann, Apr 19 2016, 05:03 PM.

A couple small improvements for me. Leaderboard updating right around the corner! You may still have some time to get a couple more laps in. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Seems I managed to get this time in before the update! ![]() Bowser's Castle in 1'57"28 ![]() Couldn't sleep so decided to have another stab at Luigi's to see how I've progressed. Was on pb pace right away and got a 1'41"67 after a few attempts. This track really tires the thumb out though, not used to it anymore! ![]()

Leaderboard Update 1st (+0).... 39 (-3) ----- No64DD 2nd (+0)... 34 (-1) ----- kartmaster 3rd (+2).... 31 (+15) ----- LinusHofmann 4th (-1)..... 29 (-5) ---- rdools 5th (-1)..... 27 (-6) --- PimpinMainer 6th (+0)..... 05 (+0) ---- Cabanon 7th (+0)..... 01 (+0) ---- Meader New Users: None Users Falling Out of Points: None Most 1st Place Times: LinusHofmann (10) Most Top 3 Finishes: kartmaster (19) Biggest Movers: LinusHofmann (+15 pts) Most Times Submitted: LinusHofmann (6) Trusty Rusty Thumbstick Award: LinusHofmann Holy cow. I don't know how LinusHofmann has done it, but he's jumped two spots into 3rd place and is eyeing the lead. Linus almost always is dead-set on achieving first place on a track before moving on to the next, and the points are piling up because of it! LH also now holds the record of most first place finishes. My Toad's Turnpike time helps me ONLY lose one point this week. Going to have to step up the game if I'm going to stay in the Top 3 that I feel like I somehow backed back into last week. The good news is despite my errors in some of the times on the chart last week, I did have all the points correct. Sorry about that. The first post contains 321 lines of BBCode, so I guess screwing up two lines still makes me 99.3% accurate. =P Seriously though. Should you spot an error, I appreciate it when it's pointed out. I think this week I'm going to go back and look at some of those tracks where there is a really close margin, and see if I can push it enough to score some big points. Dare I go for first place???

Thanks Linus, you're right. I'll fix that as soon as I get to my desk. I don't want to try to edit that on my phone. Liable to break the whole thread. Ha ha. |

Looking forward to it! It's fun to revisit old tracks and suddenly find a few extra tenths without having to try as hard as the first time. But I'll keep focusing on new tracks and wait to see where the next battle takes place! Kartmaster's time on Toad's Turnpike might be an indication of the first shot fired. Doesn't look like that track has seen much competitive play really and I think is my weakest 1st place time. Let the stick waggling commence! Edit: I've swapped out my blue and black rubber cap for a solid black affair with a new bolt (different surface treatment). Hopefully I won't be getting another Rusty Thumbstick award this time around! ![]() ![]() Edited by LinusHofmann, Apr 22 2016, 08:20 PM.

Good to see! Looks like I need to get past my aversion to Rainbow road and have a crack at getting a time on there soon. Currently dabbling in Jungle parkway and Banshee boardwalk but haven't had time to really go for it yet. Are you using the Steelstick for Mario kart btw Pimpin? How are you finding it? |

![]() @ Linus - I have been using the metal stick and I must say it has stood up to the abuse. Its held up as well as my hori pad! So far after about 50 hours of gameplay between Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros, and Paper Mario I don't think I have worn it out at all. I will say that I have started to fill the screw hole up with dead skin (gross) and I know its all from Mario Kart because its only on the left and right sides I haven't tried the rubber head yet, I'm saving that for my secret weapon when I can't beat anymore of these times.

Nice times! Glad I put an extra few turns into Luigi's, that time probably won't stand long at this rate. And the MooMoo changes hands again! Quite pleased to have an excuse to go back to the farm actually! Thanks for the report on the stick too, I'm pleased that you've been able to put many hours on it! Nothing like real world testing! Yes the bolt hole filling with gunk is a bit of a problem, especially as the bolt is set quite deep on these prototypes. Hopefully will be a bit less prone to that with the new flush bolts. ![]() Looking forward to more hot times action!

Pimpin's BACK! Man Rainbow Road is so brutal. I want to go back and tune up my shortcut time, but that track is so long, times are so variable. Takes ultimate focus. |

Oh man, that track. Not sure I can stomach a whole session of rainbow road...might have to do a few spins around Moo Moo (Sorry pimpin! :P) to get my spirits up before giving it a proper go.

Rainbow road starts to hurt your eyes after a couple minutes. I try and not play it for more than 10 minutes at a time... so like 2 races lol. |

) and I fell into the water before the last corner.
Urgh!
