Ugh.  Hit an oil slick on lap 3, which is impossible to recover from in the second loop.  Would have exceed 300,000 if I just finished that race.  Oh well.  I'd try again, but I don't think I have enough time.

It sucks when you get past level 24 and the other cars get the roll cage and crash you out. Usually that's how my game would end every time.

After last year's tournament, I just went for the participation point in this for the week. It's been a pretty brutal year so far health-wise and game-wise for me.

Geez. Will I ever make it to the top 10? I thought my place would have been secured before I was bumped down to 11.

I feel your pain, I really wanted to give a go at another score today but was busy with the family after work and game time just didnt happen, i was hoping my score would hold up but the last 2 hours of the contest were brutal

There are definitely some great players on these forums. I'm just happy that I have personally improved a lot in this game since I first started playing. This has been the first time I've gotten past level 24. More time would have helped us both for sure.

Ya you did good. 12 year old Tom is still proud!

This is pretty good competition around here.

So much for that 4th game slump. 4th week in a row with 40+ scores submitted. Let's keep the streak going!

The thing I like most about this game is the first two levels hahaa!

Oh and "very wet" track conditions lol

Seriously though I feel like the A.I. can't figure out the puddles.

21st out of 40...ouch. My worst performance so far, and I doubt Xevious being a shmup will be much better.

So this is the first game I intentionally did not participate in because I just didn't want to deal with this game anymore! Didn't even want the participation point. I'm still sour on it from the last summer tournament, hehe!

I was wondering where you and khog143 were this week.
Was counting on both of you posting 11th hour scores to sneak into the top ten.

I was surprised that I ended up only getting bumped down to 4th by Luke's awesome first place score. I figured when I broke the 300k mark Tuesday that I'd be able to put up a really great score, but I ended up getting stuck and couldn't even manage to break 300k again the rest of the week.

Well, I did warn you on Saturday!  Since I won't have much time to play during the week, I'll probably be posting last minute for this week as well.  Even though the contest is over, I still want to score over 300,000 in RC Pro Am before I even start Xevious.

I'm just wondering when the Xevious contest starts. Because it is 2 days after March 1st and the Xevious contest has not started yet.
