Flip Flop at the Top Kevin @ Wednesday, September 8th   [link]

Movement The crown has switched yet again, as PRB #1 Abel Marques swaps places with #2 David Roldan for the second time. He hit just 2 PRs, both conveniently ranked 2nd as well - DS 3lap 1'29"910 Myth C and BC flap 36"191 God (both gods on Non-PRB). The result was a 0.1094 AF cut that moved him up enough to make the top spot, and give him a cushion of just three average finish positions. David had been working more on world records lately, so we'll see if he'll come back with a battle. On Non-PRB, #4 Dylan Gaunt also sent in 2 "bad" PRs, although they did give him a 0.2031 AF cut, pretty hefty for that rank and a tiny amount of new times. Despite his new times being "bad", they still seem to always be in the top five, hitting times like RCI2 3lap 48"859 Myth A (#3) and RBB 3lap 1'44"999 God (#5). Dylan pulled within 0.7 AF of #3 David Roldan, but surely his ultimate goal is #2 Ben Stoneman, who now sits just a hair over 1 AF point above him. USA Champion #12 Nick Welch is still at it, trying to bring back glory to a country once dominant in MKDS. His AF cut of 0.2187 is just a small start for now on Non-PRB, but he made some bigger moves over on PRB that have helped him climb quicker. With a 1.0625 AF cut, Nick moved passed #13 Sascha Brauninger, landed dangerously close to #11 Giulio Centrone, and is within half an AF point of #10 Timur Ahmad. The big AF cut is mostly due to new times on RR, previously his worst course, so improving your worst times will of course always give you nice cuts. He did however also hit a nice DS 3lap of 1'31"975 Myth C. Easily the most consistently active player of the year, #35 Stefan Mayr had another milestone week, finally reaching Myth E overall! This came with a 0.8282 AF cut, which saw him leap over #36 Zach Sterling. He only hit 3 PRs along the way, but strong ones they were, all being God, bringing that number to double-digits. First he played SR, where he hit outstanding times of 1'39"982 (#15) and 32"586 (#6), the flap being his first German record. Then he played RKB2 flap, hitting an astonishing 13"264 (#7), another country record. #5 Timur Ahmad actually hit his own RKB2 flap of 13"268 along the way, but it just wasn't enough to hold off Stefan. If he continues like this, Stefan should be well into the top 30 and beyond in no time. Continuing a strong run, #79 Alex Frasca moves up another three spots with a 3.5937 AF cut, as he moves very close to the Titan rankings. A total of 15 PRs came along the way, including his first myth; WS flap 38"601 Myth E. As long as he keeps it up, more myths, and maybe even some gods, are right around the corner. Movement outside the top 100 included #116 Daan Becker -2.8120, #139 Leonelli Wilker -1.0940, #183 Jonathon Jones -0.2660, #216 Nicholas Harvey -0.7810 (Expert E to Expert D), #269 AJ Skinner -23.0630, #345 Federico Mazzucchielli -10.9620 (Advanced E to Advanced D) and #408 Jay Honnold -6.8910 (Intermediate B to Intermediate A). New Records There were 2 WR's improved (blue) and two non-prb times (pink). Continuing where he left off this week, David pursued the sub 34" RR flap he so desires. He still didn't quite get it, but he inched closer, improving his own record to 34"073. The other WR goes to a complete newcomer, a somewhat mysterious Japanese player by the name of Rupa. He came out of nowhere to hit the second fastest WR in the game (staff roll lol), with an awesome RBP flap of 8"108. This unfortunately knocked our favorite times updater Nicola off the record charts though. Will we get to see sub 8"1 some day soon? For Non-PRB, we already know that Rupa took down the RBP flap to 8"108. The other record here is credited to none other than Abel (how ironic, a non-prb record for the prb champ?). The course was MC 3lap, hitting a time of 1'30"428, taking down the record held by Timur made March of this year by nearly three tenths of a second. Awards He didn't make a big cut, but nobody else even did, and he didn't have to for that matter. The regained his Champion position and hit a few good times, obtaining a Non-PRB record along the way. That's easily enough to give him this during a slow week, so Abel Marques wins the POW for the first week of September! ~Kmacc

Nobody suspects the ButterflAizen Etch @ Saturday, September 4th   [link]
When did you fall under the illusion that Abel wasn't #1?

The rain in Spain falls on the plain.. Kevin @ Wednesday, September 1st   [link]

Movement #4 Dylan Gaunt led the charge at the top this week, making a nice 0.6719 AF cut to secure his position. He is now 1.2 AF away from Australian Champion and #2 Ben Stoneman, so that's a goal he'll want to reach by the end of the year (or even quarter?) surely. It always helps to hit some quality PRs, which Dylan did this week. All three of his PRs were ranked 5th, which were DH flap 22"228 God, RDP1 3lap 55"983 Myth B and RBB flap 34"581 God. #6 Abel Marques was also active with just one small PR, CCB 3lap 1'23"611 God (#2). He is bringing his PRB close to sub-3.0 again, so we hope to see him challenge David for the crown once again. Abel always has a few tricks up his sleeves, so we'll see what he pulls out. A few Japanese players were active on PRB with a few old PRs, including #8 Huwakun -0.5624, #25 'Xiva' -0.6563 and #52 White Line -0.0781. Huwakun still has a way to go before reaching #7 Leonardo Assisi, but it would be beneficial for him to keep moving since #14 Sawara can strike at any moment. 'Xiva' also did not move up, but has a few players not too far ahead. Maybe he will make a run for the top twenty someday. Likewise to the others, White Line also stayed stationary in his spot, although cutting just over another half of an AF point would see him reach the top fifty. #20 Simon Levy was active after a bit of a break from the game, making a nice 0.6562 AF cut to help him jump over #21 Marshall LeVett and into the top twenty. Simon hit some high level PRs along the way, including SR 1'40"623 Myth B + 32"724 God, and AF 1'46"105 Myth B + 34"825 Myth A. His goal of Non-PRB French Champion are so much closer in sight now, as he sits just about 1.5 AF behind #18 Nicolas Barco for the crown. A similar AF cut helped him move up to #18 in PRB, although the French crown is much further there. He did at least reach Titan B in ARR on those charts. Only a big further down, #36 Stefan Mayr had his usual activity, with a 0.7656 AF cut that kept him put in his spot. He only made two PRs, but they were great for his level; SR flap 32"892 Myth B and RCI2 flap 15"983 Myth E. With the same exact PRs, he gathered a much bigger PRB AF cut of 3.1093, moving up six spots and into the top fifty, landing at #47. Unfortunately, he fell just short of the Titan ranking in PRB, as well as the Myth ranking in Non-PRB. He should reach both of those goals the following weeks without much of a problem. Finishing off his best month yet, #79 Alex Frasca slowed down a bit, but that still meant that he made a 4.0000 AF cut and moved up six spots. As an extra little bonus, Alex also reached the top 100 in the PRB charts, and just narrowly might I add. And to finish off the top 100, #86 Bastien Thomasson Koopafou sent in some old times to cut 2.2811 AF and bring his AF sub-100. Movement outside the top 100 included #122 Daan Becker -1.1100, #140 Leonelli Wilker -1.5150, #185 Jonathon Jones -0.5460, #216 Nicholas Harvey -0.5310, #293 AJ Skinner -42.9370 (Advanced D to Advanced B), #416 Jay Honnold -63.7660 (Intermediate C to Intermediate B), #557 Sebastian Wimmer -29.1400 (Beginner B to Beginner A), #609 Lenny Gutierrez -0.9840 and #656 April Thompson -2.1870. New Records There was 1 WR improved (blue) but no non-prb times (pink). This week, David Roldan went to take down his own RR SC flap, possibly going for that sub 34". He didn't quite make the sub yet, but he did bring it down to a nice 34"126, about 0"07 faster than his old record from the end of last year. Awards There was too much "high-leveled" activity this week, so best cuts were key. This player had one of the best two cuts, but outweighed the other competitor in rank promotion and the fact that he's a bit higher up the ladder. For huge cuts and flying through the mid-advanced ranks, AJ Skinner wins the POW for the fourth week of August! With awards bigger than the weekly one, consistency through out the time period is key, and this player had that on his side. Starting from outside the top 100, he made huge cuts every week to finish the month 29 positions higher after cutting nearly the same amount of AF, accounting for 23% of it altogether. He jumped from mid to high Hero, and looks to be the next in line to become a Titan player. For a break-out month and hopefully the emergence of another strong USA karter, Alex Frasca wins the POM for the month of August! ~Kmacc

They see me TASin', they hatin' Etch @ Friday, August 27th   [link]

Movement Good things come to those who wait. As #1 David Roldan on prb has proven, RR is possible to time trial if you put in the effort. Either that or he is just that lucky or good because he got close to the sub improving his sc 3lap again to now 1'50"282. It's amazing the time has gotten this low considering the rail shortcut is only used once. Urban myths aside, pray to the kart Gods that David can go 5/6 or 6/6 one day because he will need it. On the non-prb side, #3 David Roldan has the usual toppie trio still trying to catch up with #4 Dylan Gaunt -0.0938, #5 Timur Ahmad -0.0156, and #6 Abel Marques -0.0625 all active this week. Dylan started things off with TTC flap 30"090 and MC flap 29"414 which both rank 3rd overall. Of course, the best work came on AF where he finally conquered the ancient 3lap set by #1 Thomas Bolton over 2 years ago. Dylan improved the world records here numerous times before settling with 1'44"077 and 34"206. Timur finally picked up his MC flap God with 29"486 which only leaves RR 3lap as his only non-God for the nitro tracks. Bringing up the rear and currently the World's #2 man, Abel broke out of his shell again to reclaim the YC world records which means another 2 year old record from Thomas fell. He slightly improved the 3lap to an even time of 1'25"500 while taking the flap from Dylan with 27"673. One of America's finest, #12 Nick Welch made some come back pr's on WS dropping his non-prb times to 1'56"884 / 38"082 and prb times to 1'55"667 / 37"272. Also making a random appearance is #14 Matthew Ord who cut about an AF point to move up a spot this week. He worked on PG improving his times to 1'27"713 and 28"469. Finishing up the top 20 was Japan's non-prb champ #17 Sawara. He continues to crank out top times like CI2 flap 15"958, AF 1'45"524 / 34"693, and RR sc 3lap 1'53"929. His cuts helped him move up to #14 on prb and only trails BDash by 5 in country records. All of these players are ranked Myth B overall non-prb so it will be interesting to see who will join the Myth A club next! Elsewhere, we have #23 Dallas Wilde with a PG flap of 28"682 and #36 Stefan Mayr with F8C times of 1'15"522 / 24"773. Both players are close to the next ranking promotion with Dallas nearing Myth C overall while Stefan is looking to become the 35th player ranked Myth E or better! Not surprisingly, #85 Alex Frasca stays on his pr spree sporting a 10 point AF cut this week. He didn't move up much in rank but jumped straight to Hero A overall. When you are the only player making giant cuts not ranked near the top, it's easy to stand out. There was no movement outside the top 100, lol. New Records There were 5 WR's improved (blue) and four non-prb times (pink). In case you missed them, Abel's YC times of 1'25"500 / 27"673, Dylan's AF times of 1'44"077 / 34"206, and David's RR sc 3lap 1'50"282. For Non-PRB, everything but RR in case you still don't understand the difference. Awards Aside from WR action, the best cuts and only real cuts this week belong to one of the few active players, so Alex Frasca wins the POW for the third week of August! mfw the kiddies have to go back to school ~ETCH

NFL preseason Hoarding Kevin @ Sunday, August 15th   [link]

Movement #3 David Roldan was a bit active again this week, hitting some dual God PRs on RMMF with times of 1'03"248 (#2) + 20"617 (#6). This leaves David within 0.4 AF of #2 Ben Stoneman, and also gives him a slightly bigger lead for #1 on the PRB charts. If David can improve his Non-PRB times for both RDP1 and RKB2, we will surely see not only a new #2 on Non-PRB for the first time since 2008, but possibly even a new champion on those charts since mid-2007. #13 Nick Welch is starting to make a small comeback, hitting a nice FS flap of 32"382 God. This gave him a 0.1562 AF cut, moving him dangerously close to #12 Nicola Torre. Nick also submitted some old PRB times from 2009, making a bigger 0.3281 AF cut to jump over #14 Nicolas Barco for a matching #13 position. Assuming he continues playing, he can be a legitimate threat to reach the top ten again. On his tail, #17 Sawara is coming off an awarded week, making a 0.3437 AF cut to pull closer to #16 Cole Gilbert. Sawara also did some PRB work, hitting four new PRs on WS and RCI2 to result in a large 1.1719 AF cut, and landing in a dangerous position to pass a few more karters. #37 Stefan Mayr was active as usual, with an AF cut of 0.3282 to leap over #38 Kevin McAteer (FUUUUUUUUUUU) and come easily within striking distance of #36 Joep van Gelder. Just a lone PR on F8C flap of 24"772 Myth C did the trick here. The two biggest movers in the top 100 came closest to the bottom, starting with #80 Murray Wright. Murray's eleven PRs were accompanied by a nice 5.6255 AF cut, moving him up four spots, and passing #84 Ben Wilson to become #9 UK. #77 Jordon Ward is just ahead as #8 UK, so expect Murray to make the pass next week. In the process of all of this, Murray also hit his second Myth time (TTC flap 30"836 Myth E), reached the top 100 in PRB, and became Hero A overall. The other big mover is also the new addition to the top 100, #89 Alex Frasca. Alex's glorious 9.1750 AF cut moved him well into the top 100, all while hitting a berserk twenty-two PRs. Those PRs included his first Myth time - WS flap 38"693 Myth E - as well as his highest ranked time - RCI2 flap 16"095 Titan B (#30). Alex still has a bit to go before he catches his rival Murray, but PRing at this rate regardless will shoot him up the ladder. To top not having to check the "outside the top 100" box anymore to look at his position, Alex also became Hero B overall. Movement outside the top 100 included #187 Jonathon Jones -19.9220 (Expert D to Expert C) and #214 Tom Mannings -2.4370. New Records There were no new records this week. Awards He fell just short of the top 100 last week. This week, he not only reached the barrier, but obliterated it, moving up 12 spots with one of the biggest cuts, while reaching Hero B overall. For his outstanding movement and breaking the top 100, Alex Frasca wins the POW for the second week of August! ~Kmacc

BLS4LIFE Kevin @ Monday, August 9th   [link]

Movement Finally getting back into the action, #5 Timur Ahmad comes back into play with a small 0.1250 AF cut, but it's just a start for now. He hit three PRs, all of which were God; DS 3lap 1'30"718 (#5), and DKP 1'46"750 (#8) + 34"825 (#9). He already had the DKP flap God, so the two other Gods were new ones, leaving him with only two God times left to hit on the nitro side of the timesheet, those being MC flap and RR 3lap. The same PRs gave him a slightly smaller cut in PRB, securing his top ten spot for now. And may I add, great news update in MKSC Timur! Also back in action after a week of absence, #17 Sawara hit a few PRs to result in a 0.4844 AF cut, moving him closer to #16 Cole Gilbert. The real action though came on the PRB charts for Sawara, where he made a great 1.5000 AF cut to jump over the idolo #16 Fabio Sacco to join the top fifteen. The best PRs of his batch were easily his RLC2 PRB times, with 1'15"396 (#9) + 24"580 (#5), both Myth D's. If he can keep this pace up, Sawara will reach the top ten very soon, and even challenge #8 Huwakun for the Japanese Championship. Coming too close to passing me is #38 Stefan Mayr, whose 0.8906 AF cut leaves him within both half a point of myself and #36 Joep van Gelder. Just two PRs this week, but both were Gods though - YF 3lap 47"485 and RMC1 3lap 42"125. Also active again a bit farther down, #59 Stacy Needham made a very tiny AF cut of 0.0781, but it was still enough to move up a spot and pass #60 Kevin Borne. Last we have the karter with the biggest cut of the week, and that would be #84 Murray Wright. Of course he was hoarding, so he won't be seeing his name next to any awards, but his 29.9210 AF cut is still quite impressive, moving him up approximately 28 spots. Within all of this madness, he hit 36 PRs altogether, including his first Myth time (KB2 flap 13"489 Myth C), and reached Hero B from Hero D. He actually came very close to Hero A for that matter, so we'll watch to see if he reaches that mark next week, as long as move into the top 100 in PRB, where he fell short of this week at #101. Movement outside the top 100 included #101 Alex Frasca -6.1090, #125 Daan Becker -1.9220, #206 Jonathon Jones -9.3590, #227 Tom van Kessel -0.7500, #489 Dexter Howe -31.1100 (Intermediate E to Intermediate D) and #623 Piyawat Jinkarn -25.2360 (Beginner E to Beginner D). New Records There were 2 WR's improved (blue) and two non-prb times (pink). The same two players as last week were at it again this week, starting again with David. He had already taken the TTC flap some time back, but since he played the 3lap again last week, he moved back to the flap, taking it even lower to a time of 29"629 with the BLS. The next player with a record of course than is Dylan. He went for a record he lost just over two months ago to Huwakun - WS Non-SC flap. He succeeded in taking his site record back, hitting a lap of 37"097. Maybe the sub is soon to follow? For Non-PRB, look above. Awards It's only been a few months since he's joined, and he's had many good weeks, but this week he finally put on the best performance. He had the best cuts out of everyone, and coming from the top as well always makes it more impressive. For great cuts and joining the top fifteen in PRB, Sawara wins the POW for the first week of August! ~Kmacc

New #1... Again? Kevin @ Monday, August 2nd   [link]

Movement We started the month with Thomas as our champion, and then Abel took the crown during the first week of July. Now, as July comes to a close, we have our third different champion of the month, that being #1 David Roldan! After #2 Abel Marques slowed down for the rest of the month, David crushed many of his times, hitting a bunch of records along the way, and narrowly taking the top spot after a 0.3281 AF cut this week to bring him to exactly 3.0 AF. Along the way, he hit a nice new world record, taking his own TTC 3lap down to a time of 1'30"679. I sense a face lift coming for this course... Apart from some nice times and taking the championship crown in PRB, he made some nice movement in Non-PRB as well. Maybe that's his next target, taking the #1 spot there too? He made a huge 1.4844 AF cut there, easily securing his top three spot, and looking to be a challenge soon to #2 Ben Stoneman. We'll just see what the future holds soon, but for now, congrats to David! Let us not forget the others again... #38 Stefan Mayr made some minor PRs to make a 0.6250 AF cut. He is quickly approaching #37 Kevin McAteer, as well as the myth ranks.. maybe an August goal? Down a bit further, #60 Stacy Needham made a 1.3438 AF cut to jump up a spot and keep off the next active karter, that being #61 Anthony Valette. Anthony made a huge 8.4531 AF cut to leap nine spots. This caused Anthony to have a huge ARR cut too, and becoming Titan C overall. Anthony also made a PRB cut of 1.3594, moving up to #34. His PRB rival, PRB #36 Carlos Munoz, made an AF cut of 2.0937 and pulls within half a point of Anthony. On Non-PRB, Carlos made a cut twice as big to move into the top seventy. Last man active, #91 Richard Penkalla made a nice 4.0780 AF cut to move up four spots and secure his spot in the top 100. The only other person I'm writing a time for.. Richard made a notable time on his favorite course (BP flap) with a time of 8"149, the German record and ranked in at #7! Movement outside the top 100 included #108 Alex Frasca -5.3600 (Hero D to Hero C), #125 Daan Becker -15.6400 (Hero E to Hero D), #178 Alex Malone -3.5780, #213 Jonathon Jones -29.9850 (Advanced A to Expert D) and #515 Dexter Howe -28.7960. New Records There were 2 WR's improved (blue) and two non-prb times (pink). David started off the week the way he ended the month-with a bang. He had already taken the TTC flap WR, so he must have figured, why not take the 3lap down some more? It was already his own record, but he pushed it further down to a 1'30"679, this time with the power of the BLS. The entire week, there had been a lot of people testing strats on AF after seeing the new TAS, and Dylan was one of them. But he wasn't just any one of them, he was the one with the new WR to show for it, edging out his own WR with a time of 34"340 on lap 1 with the Egg1. For Non-PRB, look above. Awards Much like Abel did the first week for this award, he became site champion. His huge Non-PRB AF cut was actually enough by itself also, so both together in one week is a shoe-in for the award. For reaching the top of the charts, David Roldan wins the POW for the fourth week of July! This month, there was a lot of activity, new champions, and huge climbs up the charts. Only one could be given the award though, and after looking at the stats, it was pretty obvious. He cut over 25% of his AF on both charts, almost double of the next competitor. He added a few WRs to his name to bring his tally up to 24. He also ended the month at the top of the charts, beating everybody out. Yeah you know who he is.. For his insane cuts, WRs, and becoming MKDS champion, David Roldan wins the POM for the month of July! I finally got around to this.. There were no real standouts this past quarter, although cuts were still good. This player had one of the biggest cuts at 34%, and outdid anyone near him at the top. He moved through the top thirty, reaching the top twenty at one point as well. He made a tear through the Myth ranks, going low Myth E to Myth C overall, and looks like a threat soon to become his country's champion. For his dominance climbing through a tough area with lots of high level PRs and gliding through the Myth ranks, Simon Levy wins the POQ for the second quarter of 2010! ~Kmacc

Vote for Etch!!! Kevin @ Thursday, July 22nd   [link]

Movement As if the beginning of July wasn't eventful, the end might be just as much so. #3 David Roldan continues a steady climb up the charts, especially in PRB. There he sits within 0.2 AF of #1 Abel Marques after a 0.4688 AF cut, so don't be surprised to see the crown possibly switch yet again. He hits high level PRs with ease, such as PG PRB 1'26"185 Myth D (#2) + 27"803 Myth A (#3) and YC 1'25"836 God (#2) + 27"737 God (#4). Then he decides to put just a little effort into it, and also cranks out two new world records. The first came on WS SC 3lap, where he obliterated Thomas' time by nearly a second to make the sub with a 1'50"969 God. As if that wasn't enough, he moved onto TTC flap, taking Abel's record there with an amazing 29"883. He already has some times waiting to be updated, so he'll be extremely close to Abel next update, and could be the next champion rolling into August. Although not as eventful, David also cut 0.1875 in Non-PRB, securing his top three spot. #4 Dylan Gaunt almost overtook David this week with a 0.1719 AF cut, but wasn't quite able to catch him. He may have only hit two PRs, but a few important things happened. His first PR was only a BC flap of 36"491 God (#3), nothing special. His better time for the week came with some strong efforts on CI2 flap, where he snatched the Non-PRB record from fellow countrymen #2 Ben Stoneman with a time of 15"639 God. That pushes him up to six Non-PRB records now, tied for fourth with Lee Boon. The other great thing that happened for this week came on PRB. Although only his BC flap made the transition to that chart as well, it was enough to push his ARR down into the Myth E range, making him the sixth player to reach it in PRB. Still chugging along, #17 Sawara continues to represent Japan on the Non-PRB charts with a 0.4376 AF cut this week, leaping over French Champion #18 Nicolas Barco. A 0.6406 AF cut in PRB helped solidify his position as he shoots for the top fifteen there. He added another top ten time to his arsenal with a LC1 PRB 3lap 1'10"989 Titan A (#9), showing possible potential to one day challenge #8 Huwakun for the throne in Japan. Another person still chugging is #38 Stefan Mayr, who I think has been active almost every week this entire year. He had a broken arm and still tried to play, that's dedication. Anyway, Stefan had an AF cut of 0.9688 to pass over former 1-day champion #39 Lars Stelzig, as he looks to topple me over next (although this may cause me to submit my 64/64 WR's ). Some more PRB action, as there seems to be a mini-battle between #36 Anthony Valette and #37 Carlos Munoz. Both players had nice weeks, making respective AF cuts of 3.2500 and 2.6250. Anthony has been on a roll lately, as he's made great progress up the charts through July. He hit fifteen PRs this week, highlighted by an impressive TTC 3lap of 1'32"673 God (#9). Hopefully his Non-PRB rank will catch up that his PRB skills, as he stays put at #70 for now. Carlos might have possibly started playing again because Anthony passed him, or maybe not. Either way, his strong efforts weren't enough to make the pass back, although he did pass over two others in the process. Unfortunately for Carlos, he just missed out on Titan D overall this week, something Anthony was able to accomplish. There's always next week! Technically not last or least as there are active players below him, #60 Patryk Choma made a small comeback. He hit dual PR's on RPC 56"841 Titan C + 18"212 Titan A, helping to make a tiny AF cut of 0.2500 and maintain his rank. Movement outside the top 100 included #110 Alex Frasca -2.8590, #136 Daan Becker -6.5320 (Expert A to Hero E), #181 Alex Malone -7.0780 (Expert D to Expert C), #236 Jonathon Jones -66.8700 (Advanced C to Advanced A), #537 Tom Gaffikin -4.5320 and #547 Dexter Howe -18.9860 (Beginner A to Intermediate E). New Records There were 2 WR's improved (blue) and two non-prb times (pink). These records were all mentioned earlier, but I'll rehash them for those who don't read all of the news. David decided to take some more WR's before making his Championship run, starting with WS SC 3lap. There, he took Thomas' 15-month old record, and beat it nearly by a full second, while reaching sub 1'51 with a time of 1'50"969. After that, he must have felt bad for taking one of Thomas' records, so he decided to take one from Abel also. So, he went for Abel's TTC flap from May, beating it by about a tenth of a second with a time of 29"883, thanks to the power of Waluigi! For Non-PRB, David hit the TTC flap of 29"883. Aside from that, Dylan added another record to his name. He played a bit of CI2 flap, nabbing his sixth record with a time of 15"639, taking away from fellow Aussie karter Ben Stoneman, whose time was getting close to two years old. Awards David had a great week, but he's had his fair share of awards for now, it's nice to spread it out a little sometimes. So the player who gets it this week is the one with the biggest AF cut, and it was huge at that, almost 20%. He moved up a huge 55 spots and into the top 250. For making huge improvement and climbing so much in one week, Jonathon Jones wins the POW for the third week of July! ~Kmacc
