This is my personal best performance ever, and although I'd like to build on it, unfortunately my thumbs are killing me! The best advice I can give is to slow the fuck down for turns, and know when to lay off the turbo...just because you can get that epic speed boost doesn't mean you should. Takes a bit of practice, but it's not too tough. That said, I highly doubt I'd have a better run than this any time soon, seems like it was a fluke, but I'm enjoying this one (surprisingly, forgot how much I liked Rad Racer as a kid), so I'll definitely be attempting it again this week
Nice run! Especially for never getting past level two. The biggest tips are indeed to brake, brake and more brake. If you don't know the course by heart, slam on the brake as soon as you see the turn signs on the side of the road. The biggest thing to remember is going 'slow' for 3 seconds is infinitely better than crashing. Another tip is to pick your spots when passing cars. Don't get over anxious. Go slow and take your time when they cut you off and block you in. Especially once you are past level 2 and they purposely try to demolition derby you right off the road.
Yeah, I noticed that, but if you wait long enough, one of them speeds up/slows down. Not sure if it holds true throughout the game, but I noticed I could rear-end those cars as well, which would drop my speed a bit instantly by around 50 mph or so. I actually used that to trim speed heading into turns sometimes, if the timing was right. And once you're past a car, it never comes back from behind you, so if you can get the car boxing you in from the side to disappear, you're more or less golden. Also noticed that cars that change lanes only change between two of them, so if they're switching too fast just go to the lane they aren't moving into...again, no idea if that holds true throughout the rest of the game, but it does at least to that point. Finally, I found if you wipe out on the twisty part of the Grand Canyon level (stage 3), you would actually come to a halt on the road instead of being knocked to the side...this made for a faster recovery time than on the other levels. I found I crashed there more often than elsewhere, and just limped through the checkpoints, so you do have a tiny bit more leeway than on most other stages.

"It's always amazing to me how some of the most worthless games from a gaming perspective tend to fetch outrageous amounts of money. But then again, it could be said that something is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. I'm curious if the high bidder of the $873.04 Stadium Events (cart-only) realizes that it's nowhere nearly as rare as about 20+ games I can think of that sell for 1/10th that amount? At any rate, I wanted to draw attention to this trend: if people say it's rare, it must be true, and therefore it must be had at any price."
