Carburetor County Speedway

The Carburetor County Speedway is a pretty simple layout for a course, it is the easiest of the two real courses. You now also get three other cars on the track with you. There are computer Controlled (AI) cars. They are not very bright, and they are certainly not the best drivers.

All of the races are three laps, and there are three different difficulty levels that you can go around the track on, Easy, Medium and Hard.

On easy you race at about 100 mph, Medium is 110, and hard is 120. The AI cars go around faster with the increase in difficultly. Not sure if they get to be better drivers or not!

Now the best part is using the boosts and oilcans, which you did not get on the practice track.

The Boost allow you a burst of speed for a short time. You can collect up to three of these as you go around the track, I always try to start a race with three already.

These are the key to getting a faster time on the track.



The Oil Can creates an oilslick for you opponants to slip on and loose time. You also need to be careful of these as you go around the track. I do not use these alot, perhaps when it is more than just computer controlled cars they will be more useful.









This is what an oilslick looks like on the track, avoid them!








The two sharper corners are the hardest parts of this track. You may have to slow down slightly in order to stay on the track. There are other options of course, but I won't talk about those yet. The other left-right-left corners you should not have to slow down for, but just go all out through them. If you have boosts, try to use them on the on the straights, and then pick up more!

Good times for the different levels appear to be:
Easy: under 1'30"
Medium: Under 1'20"
Hard: Under 1:15"

For the most part just finish infront of the AI cars to get the most car coins.
