Bmack takes the round on points and a fine time indeed. Congrats! This was a fun and very competitive round. Next time we'll try a different track. Thanks to everyone that partook in the race!

Haven't played this Centipede clone in quite awhile. There is the Dan Bienvenu hack for those without a Roller Controller. Best of luck!

That is by far my only gripe with this game, the bumper car crap. Other than that, this is good game. I have been pondering a scoring system for timed games such as this. I don't see anything regarding timed games in the rules. I was thinking like this: 1st- 100 points 2nd- 94 3rd- 88 Etc. etc. I was going to do five less for each place, but I think six will do. Thoughts?

We'll figure something out. Perhaps the defending champ gives 50 points each to everyone that has played this season from his season total?

Season 12 will be 32 rounds now, ending sometime in early September. After a brief break, the 3rd Annual Fall Knockout Tourney will start.

5:02

It certainly is getting harder to improve. I've had 5:07. Can't seem to run another 5:05. I've had a 5:03, but ran out of gas just before the finish line.

Yes sir! ^ Always start the gasman FIRST!

Pitting on lap 4 allows enough time to start the gasman, then change all four tires, stop the gasman and get out of the pits in under 20 seconds. Pitting on lap 3 is too early. You can start the gasman, but you'll only be able to change one side of tires before stopping the gasman , then changing the other two tires. Pitting on lap five is too late. You can start the gasman and change all four tires, but then you'll have to wait on the gasman to get enough fuel in the car to finish the race, costing precious seconds. Perhaps I can do a quick video.

5:05 (Le Mans). One pitstop on lap 4. Pitstop was 18.8.

5:13 (Le Mans). Pitted on lap four. Had plenty of time for gas man right away then tire changers as car was fueled. Still sloppy, left some time on the table. Pitstop time was 23.8. Still room for improvement. Under 5:00 seems possible with some practice.

Looks like it is going to be quite the round. Good stuff so far, good stuff!

It's not too difficult to finish all 9 laps. You have been pretty consistent thus far this season. I'm sure you'll do just fine.

5:31 (Le Mans). Adjusted the bonus points. This particular time was achieved with only 1 pit stop. It will be used as a Beat the Moderator bonus.

Twenty-four rounds already. Time does fly doesn't it? Like the last time we played Pitstop there will be some with the same max score most likely , so we will be going with Best Time for scoring this round. Best of Luck!

Another round, another record falls. Gratz to Dugger for leading the way and a impressive video! An interesting round with some knowledge gained. Thank's to everyone that partook in the race!

Done ^

Skill 2. It's been corrected thanx.

This one hasn't been played in a decade here. Daniels version eliminates the steering wheel and lets you use a controller. Either way, best of luck and have a safe and happy 4th!

Once again jblenkle leads the way with a record breaking performance. Some nice flying there Joe. congrats! Thanks to everyone that partook in this aerial adventure! Our next round will be up shortly.

I have no problem with the pipe strategy. As I recall people playing the arcade machine employed that strategy as well.
