    Default woohoo! new record!

    Vector TT Valparaiso with Piranha lap time: 46.1!
    (race time 1:33.8, not quite top )

    dear GOD my thumb hurt after finally getting that, lovely little circle shape on the tip : but I reckon I can go just a little faster.... and I reckon I can get the race time record as well.

    next stop: venom.

    who is this Arnaud Senand guy and how the hell am I supposed to beat 44:8? 8O
    44:8!! And I really thought I was in with a chance of being at the top of a table. :cry:

    [later edit...]
    aha, Arnaud = Asayyeah, and I notice some previous postings about Valparaiso records (although not vector). Damn he's fast.
    Right, I'll see you all in a month or so. I'm going to practice. :

    okay, so it didn't take a month, but i've equalled Assayeahs time. yeah baby.
    can i beat it? we'll see.
    Is that you stindah who's taken the race record?

    anyway, the reason for my improvement is: brake tapping. I'm sure I read in one of the threads that it only worked in rapier/phantom. Anyway, still need more practice :roll:

    Yes that is me taking the race record : but after I read your first post, in my mind says "If this guy wanna play tough competition then I will do it!" also Asayyeah IS watching whoever put the new scores in any tracks even SE and Wipeout 3.

    Oh!, on a side note there is a few guys who also plays neggy (Negcon) which by reputation who can breaks records compare to `D` pads. :wink:

    I`m just being curious what age are you?

    element42, good going. equaling Arnaud is an achievement!
    [btw which element is number 42, anyway? i've forgotten.]

    ahem, speaking of 2097, Stevie, although i've not posted but one of my Piranha times in XL, my Piranha time for Talon's Reach Single Race Vector is 1:02.4. which is *cof* two tenths faster than yours.
    and *sigh* eight tenths slower than Arnaud's.
    which means that both of us need to sharpen up our neggie-twisting abilities. now that i've got electricity back in my house, i plan to start racing again. you still have a couple of lap times faster than mine in xl with Qirex, and *gasp, George has a Qirex racetime faster than mine somewhere in one of the classes and tracks. i must dO something!
    maybe later today after i take care of other necessary dealings with yet another utility company. i've not had much sleep for 3 days and i've not raced for a longish time, but i will try to be back in competitive form soon so we can continue our 'duels'.

    infox: LOL
    i guess we'll leave the age-coughing to me.

    element 42 = molybdenum = mo, which happens to be what everyone in the universe, bar the parents, calls me.
    also, 42 = answer to the great question of life, the universe, and everything. another example of the cosmos conspiring to like me. i think so, anyway... :wink:

    assayeah has beaten the time again though i reckon i can get that extra .1 but any more than that? unlikely

    might have been just Douglas Adams conspiring instead of the cosmos as a whole, but that's good enough for me

    yeah! yeah! yeah!
    tt lap time: 44.6
    tt race time: 1:30.2 8O that was a shock to me!
    there's definitely more in there, the lap times on that race time were 45.2, 45.0. (although i did repeat it with 45.6, 44.6). I reckon the fastest lap time can come down as far as 44.2. but that would be a non-trivial matter.
    anyway, woohoo! again!

    Something tells me I need to get a negCon. I don't spend much time on the slower racing Classes - Im too busy trying to beat 18 seconds on talons reach using a digital controller I lost out on an Ebay auction by ! 12p ! for one.

    you must get yourself a NeGcon, I didn't think they were anything special untill I got one, you'll soon smash your times with one iI can tell you that!

    Well done
    but you aren`t going to beat Arnaud without a negcon, methinks.
