sorry that was me, i usually steal all the mines and bombs from the weapon pads before the race start LOL (obviously the reason why i load so slow heheh )
anyway being 4 seconds behind on reverse tracks you've never done before on the fastest speed isnt bad at all. as i said before in my first races i was getting totally dominated by everyone, 10 to 20 seconds behind on practically all the tracks (now ive narrowed it down to a just a few tracks lolol)
