Chris Rayola climbed from #20 to #17 at the shortcut ARR rankings. He's really closing in to the top players at shortcuts. Zack Kennedy continues to improve his stats, and is now close to passing Mark Jones. Simon Laflamme cuts 0.5 from his ARR score in nonSC. Marcelo Almeida dos Reis submitted his times from the past 3 weeks. He climbed from Semi-Pro D to Pro C and reached the top 100 in both the ARR and AvgFin nonSC lists. Eise Smit made a return to Mario Kart 64. He almost reached Elite A.

Monday, June 24, 2002 - POW awards decided - by Ruokai at 6:19 pm
First off, I'd start to start by announcing the Spring Seasonal Award. The winner for the award is Ruokai Chen, currently our newest legend player. During the whole spring season, Ruokai made consistent, high quality PR's to cut his ARR score from King A to Legend D, nearly matching the feat of Lars Nouwen, who earned himself the Winter Seasonal Award. Congrats!

The Week 1 award goes to Simon Laflamme, of Canada. His outstanding achievement this week was climbing 19 spots on the player's list!! The Week 2 award goes to Michael Jongerius, of the Netherlands, for his impressive, and devastating non-SC improvements.

In the last 6 days we have a total of 16 active players! You should take a good look at the statistics pages to see how everyone performed.
Three new members have joined. Welcome to David Helm (Expert B), Mike Eklund (Apprentice A) and Mark Hill (Newbie D). It's good to see that Mario Kart 64 still attracts time trial fans of all levels after all those years.
Bigtime movers of this update are Michael Jongerius, Eddie Lovins (from Master F to Elite D in NonSC!!!), Simon Laflamme and Zack Kennedy (our new non-shortcut King!). Two players made their return after some time of inactivity: Nathan Stinson and Mike Nardone. Other actives were: Mark Jones, Ben Broadwater, Paddy Johannessen, Daniel Fields, Chris Rayola, Ruokai Chen and Thorsten Fellberg.

Well, some exciting moves in the players list as of late. Ben Miller, Michael J., Simon Laflamme, and several others are showing some zest on their way up to catching Kart Best Players.

Ben Miller gets a new Worldrecord at Moo Moo Farm fastlap! The new time is 28"29 (23"53). Miller also improved his Choco Mountain times to reach 10th place non-shortcut at both ARR and AvgFin.
Michael Jongerius, Simon Laflamme and Ben Broadwater made massive nonSC improvements to get some nice rank promotions. Chris Rayola did the same at Shortcuts. Other active players were Lars Nouwen, Beau Fairbourn, Mark Jones and Zack Kennedy.
And a new member has joined the site. Thorsten Fellberg from Germany enters at #190 in non-shortcut Average Finish.

Comeback players
Four people made a comeback to Mario Kart 64 after some period of inactivity. Dave Crawford got 2 nice improvements at Wario Stadium SC. He passed several people on that track, and is getting a little closer to reaching the Legend ranks in shortcut. Brent Wingert made some PRs at both nonSC and SC. He passed Chris Hames at the SC ARR list. Michael Jongerius got close to reaching King C at nonSC. Paddy Johannessen improved ALL his times, and climbed 35 spots at the nonSC ARR list, his kartrank going from Beginner C to Advanced F.

Nice karting activity
William Lacey got one PR at BC, which didn't affect his stats. Zack Kennedy passed 2 players at nonSC Average Finish. Michael Linski cut 0.3 points from his ARR score, and is close to Elite D. Simon Laflamme went from Master D to Master B. Eddie Lovins did well in both nonSC and SC. He achieved the Master ranks in nonSC, and got close to Elite in shortcut.

Ok, it is up, and with a few corrections, like Laflammes new profile link, and the additions of Linski's and Z. Kennedy's aim names. I know there are quite a few more corrections that are begging to be made, and if anyone spots anything, let me know. Good eye on that date error Mike :)

Lastly, I will be offline until late monday my time, so if you need to say anything to me, please use my email address KevinBooth1@attbi.com

William Lacey got a great time at Bowser's Castle 3lap that's 3rd place in the world. Zack Kennedy improved lots of PRs and is almost Elite A. Simon Laflamme made some massive improvements again and climbed an impressive 19 spots at the nonSC Average Finish rankings, leaving his rivals Ben Broadwater and Michael Poelzl in the dust... However, Broadwater and Poelzl didn't do that bad this week. Ben got a very good time at Mario Raceway flap. And Michael Poelzl entered the Pro F ranks in non-shortcut. Michael Linski got one PR at Banshee Boardwalk.

On next update of the POW section, I will catch up the POW points, and bust out the world record research as well. I believe I need to credit Ben Miller with a new World Record.

Anyhow, I finally got the Players List Done. Sorry for the delay people. Anyhow, I fixed some errors, but I am very sure I missed tons of stuff, so if you find something, just email me about it, and I'll make sure I get it fixed next update.

We got some serious action in the King/Elite Area with many players staying active and dangerous! There are even some Sub-Elites that are getting the attention of even the highest ranked players, with their dedication to improve their skills.

As far as Legends go, most of the success has been from Michael Liem with a VAST improvement on MMF and Chen daring anyone to stay up with him as he mows through the lower ranked Legends. By next update, he will probably have passed another Legend.
