After a couple of years, I sat down out of the blue and put up a new PR on the first track on Rush the Rock today.
A new PR of 2 min 30.8sec
I'm curious, can Anyone beat that?
 
Yea, that's not a bad time at all; but you can do better :001_scool:

I have yet to get a truly clean run on this machine. Once accomplished, the time will be right around 2:23.

Do you use the shortcut? I do, and if done properly you don't lose much speed at all. But if you approach the lauchh the wrong way, you will scrub too much speed and the other car(s) will catch up while going up the final hill before the finish line.
Oh, and never lift! Use the grass in the S-turns if you need to regain control
 
Na I don't use any shortcuts, that is a straight run on the course with the full simulation car. The only thing I do is hit the grass at full speed on the s turns and jump about half of it....
I'll have to watch some youtube vids and get some ideas how to cut some time off. I'll have to take some pics soon and post my other times on other courses....
Where is Leetonia Ohio?

I am about 12 minutes south of Boardman; 25 minutes south of Youngstown.

I try to avoid that hill...

I just did 3 runs on track 1 without using the shortcut and couldn't get below 2:28. Though none of the laps were perfect.

And I use the "Extreme" car on tracks: 1, 2, 4 and 5. Tracks 3, 6 and 7 tracks are brutal in the Extreme car, do mainly to it's unstable "flying" capability. Get a launch wrong and the race is trash. Quite realistic results actually, but without the "seat of the pants" input, your judgement is impaired

Lol.....welp back to the drawing board. I'm going to have to try and figure out how to eek out a few extra micro seconds, wheather it be a new route, a different shortcut, or maybe more beer before driving! NICE work!
Can any other KLOVers beat that time??
