In college, we went deep into this game. We realized you needed to have a closed circuit track for it to let you play, so we made a small circle track in the corner and the "real" track was off-road.

Then we could have half-completed banked curves, alternating banked curves where you had to thread the needle to not crash, etc. We used all kinds of bugs in our tracks. I remember you could drive over water if you were within 90 degrees of facing the fence, or get a bonus boost by hitting a jump at juat the right angle.

Sadly, we lost all our levels in a HD failure. But what a fun, buggy ass game. The best were the crashes where you'd "shoot the moon".

I must steal this design trick! Thanks for sharing your memories!
