Reply #26 - 05/03/06 at 19:44:35 Unlike mkds, charging mt's here is quite different, unless I do this going sub 46 let alone 45 on minute totals may not happen. I am probably not using all the short cuts but I seem to have some good times.

Yeah, I'm trying to be realistic! I'm like 33 years old and there's no way I can keep up with some of the very stunningly good racers on this site. And that's ok.

Though, I suspect I may have more potential with MKSC than with MKDS, because the constant MT's in the latter kill my hands.

Etch-a-sketch, I too need to pay more attention to the shortcuts and overall technique. Some of the times I see for MKSC seem impossible based on my current approaches. After I get through another series of races improving my skills with Bowser I'm gonna do some analysis.

Young players seem's stronger because they are more and they have more time to play.

Ooh, those lap times aren't right. Looks like the decimal places aren't in the right place for any of the lap times submitted last night. Hmmm, I think I used the same format last night as I have for all past submission, here's what I submitted in my email last night:

PC 00:52.90 00:17.38
RP 01:28.68 00:28.58
BC1 00:49.01 00:15.94
BC4 01:55.61 00:37.30
RMC1 00:53.56 00:09.46
RDP1 01:20.51 00:14.99
RGV1 01:07.11 00:12.71
RBC1 01:30.60 00:17.26
RMC2 01:18.73 00:14.42
RBC2 01:52.63 00:20.43
RBC3 01:38.96 00:17.73

Any ideas what I did wrong here? Anyway, I'll work on getting those fixed.

EDIT-- even with those wrong lap times, I'm still solidly in 4th place Grin

I've got my work cut out for me here!

I'm really sorrrrry Embarrassed

My error as usual.

BTW it's strange because your times look formatted very well.
Using this format all works w/o manual modification:
PC 00:52.90 17.38
RP 01:28.68 28.58
BC1 00:49.01 15.94
BC4 01:55.61 37.30
RMC1 00:53.56 09.46
RDP1 01:20.51 14.99
RGV1 01:07.11 12.71
RBC1 01:30.60 17.26
RMC2 01:18.73 14.42
RBC2 01:52.63 20.43
RBC3 01:38.96 17.73

The strange is that, the same time format works well for 3lap but the parser fails to recognize for fast lap Tongue
