6-8 seemed more forgiving to me. 

ya, I hated not getting that pic. But regardless of what the "xx" (ha,that's a band) could have been, your better than me at rad racer. But, with more time, I see no reason why I couldn't get a 67,500. I dunno about 68k. 
 

I've seen that happen too. I'm not sure if it's some kind of glitch where the cars stop on that course until you get back on the track or if there's really a car that doesn't move in the game. 68k is rare territory for sure since you would have to average 8,500 points per track to hit it. I haven't been able to keep up that pace for an entire run. My 67.5k from the last contest is still a personal best for me.

Bert probably just missed it. I'll send him a PM and let him know.

Well, bearcat. Actually, I am currently the official NA rad racer champion (points thumbs at chest) "current title holder. WWWOOOooo!". 

and although I never did get 67,5xx I did score a 67,2xx but I guess you'll have to take my word for it  

that said, nothing but respect for the former champion  

Dont poke the bear with a stick......

you can add the winston cup trophy to your signature now
 

I've got to give him credit for waiting until I was officially retired first.

I'm pretty sure it was programmed that way! I started paying attention to that far right lane about 1/2-3/4 through course 5 and I'm pretty sure there are two blue cars that are at a dead stop. Lol. That's just messed up!

Every time I talk trash during a contest it always seems to backfire on me lol. Maybe if I just stay quiet (lord knows that won't last long) I'll place better in theese things  

twarwick , respect for calling it the "Winston cup"! Those were the golden years! Shits not the same anymore.

I went and grabbed my cart to check this out and I was able to confirm it. About 1/4 of the way through, there's a dark blue car in the right lane just sitting there. The one that I hit during my run was about 3/4 of the way through, so that had to be the other one. Good catch!

Found this at a yard sale for $1! Couldn't pass it up. Not only is it the best bodine brother, he's in a ford too baby! I just wish it had those Hoosier tires on it

Just a bit of culture

Hahaa! That's awesome bearcat. I don't know how many other people would appreciate something like that. It's cool to be able to share the thoughts  

right on brother!

Cool thanks. I was having issues taking pics of a whole screen, so I was just making sure I got it right!

The first one is always in the right lane as soon as the progress meter hits the fourth arrow. I stopped right next it and it does move, but it's literally about one frame per second. I've hit the one towards the end before and never thought anything of it, but it is pretty neat to be able to confirm that there's something like that in the game. There's another blue car in the far right lane just past the first one that does the same thing, so now I'm wondering how many of these there are on the track. Normally you would just pass them and not even notice that they're barely moving. This also lends some credibility to my theory from the 2013 contest that the cars move in a preset pattern and that's not something unique to the course in the NWC version.

No problem! I had to look through the thread twice to find it because it's in the post right above the scoreboard. I let him know, so he'll probably fix it as soon as he gets a chance.

Until you hit one that is  

the cars definitely are on a pattern, imo . But it changes depending on when you hit any given point on the track. It's easier to tell on the first track because you can nearly go balls to the wall the entire way. And get the same pattern. 

On track two you always get the three lane block if you gun it from the start. If you let off the acceleration you can manipulate the pattern but I think it's still a set pattern maybe not through the entire course but at least in segments. I think, anyway . Hope I explained that in anyway that makes any kind of sense lol
