    A Dig ...... yes. I'm following Jacob's lead, and I can see it can be interpreted two ways. I interpreted it as you saying "If it were me guessing I would guess it took you 100 runs to get that time" ... but it can be read as "If it were me getting that time, it would take me 100 tries to get it".  If it was the latter then I mis-interpreted your post.

    Yes, it was the latter.

    “Nice time... but how many attempts did it take you”? 
     

    that’s trash-talk amigo! 
     

    But I get the rule... New guy can’t trash-talk. 

    Chill. I'm the new guy as well.

     

    That wasn't trash talk, that was attempting to empathize with someone else trying to race the insanity that is the blue car. I consistently mention it takes me hundreds of attempts to get a clean run with blue. Trash talk would be saying I could do it in only 3-4 runs or something.

    Well...  unless others get competitive.... in which case .., I should encourage and let that person alone be competitive. 
     

    Yes, I get it. 

    Completely fine to be competitive, it's a competition. 🙂

     

    I haven't been here much longer than you, but I've appreciated that everyone is happy for each other when they do well. It's fine to self-congratulate when you kick ass, but best to let the scores speak for themselves than claim to be unbeatable. The latter implies everyone shouldn't bother trying and that's pretty much the opposite of the spirit of inclusion we're hoping for.

    Hey guys ... your resident champion is awesome ... I don't have much chance to beat him ... but I'll try. I'm pretty good too at this game.

    That would have probably been a better direction to go.... 🙂

     

    Yes, you're awesome at this and I would never assume you or anyone else is incapable of doing better than me on this or any other game. That's the whole fun of competition thing.

     

    My goal this time around was just to beat the record on both tracks, so if I get lucky enough to do that, then awesome. If I do and someone does better, that's even more awesome!

    Probably 100.... but I was the leader and probably subconsciously I had no motivation to do any better. After you posted 3:01 I hit this in maybe 5 tries. 
     

    ohhh forgot to mention.... this was with one crash Lol... but in a good place. I crashed right at the checkpoint..  so I may not have lost any time. I barrelled way too fast right into a tree and was about to hit reset..., but I hit the side button and I started where I crashed. A little lucky :) 

    With the blue car, a wreck isn't the worst thing, I usually rank a wreck around 2 FUPs due to the need to accelerate, but it's not much worse than a complete wash out in a corner. 

     

    The real frustration of the blue car comes once you have a clean lap and see the true potential if you could just run clean...

    HOOOOLLLLLLYYYYYY SCHNIKEES!!!!!!!!!! :-o:-o:-o

     

    Lol, looks like you kicked your own ass afterall hahahahhaha, still the man Biffman.... Hope you are feeling a little better???

    Thanks!!  Still running a mild fever, but both COVID tests negative, so we'll call that a good day.  

     

    I was hoping I had a decent lap, since I only had only counted 2 FUPs on that run and had 4 FUPs on my 3:06.  I think sub 3:00 is just barely possible in blue, but honestly, who would want to try?  🙂

    Dude, hope it’s not COVID. Feel better Biff!  Your last name isn’t Tannen is it?  Lol 

    Why don't you make like a tree and get out of here? 

     

    LOL, no relation. Maybe a little MadDog in me... 

     

    Rapid test came back negative for COVID, so now waiting 2-3 days for another test to confirm COVID or not. Another possibility is West Nile. What a world we're in where West Nile is the 'good' outcome. 

     

    Anyway, I'll rest up and still get my blue car time in eventually, just too dizzy to drive at the moment. 🙂

    So Biffman ... that’s your challenge: trying to beat 3:11 :) :) 

     

    I’m going for first place on course 2... and I’m all set on course 1. 

    That's my hope.  Not really going to be satisfied until I can go faster in the blue car than the red car.  Originally my measure of success was setting new records on both tracks, but reality took a big bite out of that dream...  ;-) 

     

    Kinda frustrating to know you're capable of something and not be able to do it again....

    If I play night and day... maybe I can match the 3:06... but that’s not my style. I don’t want to run the car 500 times to chop a few seconds. I’m so satisfied right here :) 

    I don't enjoy that much repetition either, but I do feel the need for another "clean run" so we'll see.  Problem is I probably get clean on lap one like 1 time in 20, so getting all 5 laps clean is frequently an exercise in frustration.  But hey, plenty of time left to go.  🙂
