thong, me and ginsu, did that for awhile just racing around the track and doing donuts, but in the end it isn't really worth it, because your points diminish, so by the time you finish a race, you guys have done 2 races and got the same amount of points or more.

but when we race we usually tell the leader not to cross the finsih line if they have ahuge enough lead so that every one can get their kudos, you have 1:!5 from the time the first person crosses the line

I gotcha Corky. That would explain why I was racking up points doing 360 burnouts the first time, but then I stopped gaining points...

I'm trying to play thru the single player challenges and stuff. How do you rack up kudos on the cone challenges? If I try any cool moves, I'd miss the cones or just wipe them out completely. Any hints guys/gal?

Go through the cones and inbetween do slides.. if there is a stretch try to do a slide or a jump to keep stringing the combo together.. eventually the bigger combos will rack up the real points..

How do you do a slide when there are no corners? I only know how to slide thru a corner.

Tricks I know how to do:
- slide thru corner
- 360 burnout

What are the rest of the tricks?

Weave back and forth using the throttle to break the back end loose. It's obviously much easier in some cars than others.

No chance.. I was hooked on PGR1 for a LONG time and that was without the excellent online modes.

I've been hosting like crazy the last couple of days... I ran each track twice: day time and nite time. Then I change track, and change class of car. Seems like a lot of people like this combo. Sometimes we all pick the same car and duke it out for 3 laps! Lots of fun!

Also, I pretty liberal with booting anyone that is annoying to the rest of the people. When you get a room full of cool people having fun, 3 hours fly by like minutes.

What's funny is that of all the people that I played with, no one have bought any American Muscle car. Also, lots of people wants to drive the Super Car category so they can drive the Ferrari's.

I hope you guys get your PGR2 copy soon!

Just wondering what is everyone's favorite car and track?

I'm not online yet...might be too complicated as the computer(cable internet) is upstairs and the xbox is downstairs..no idea how to connect them without 1000 wires running through the house.
Thanks!

I played a bit tonight with DGC (wetwork) and had a great time.

I can safely say, this game and Links golf are the most enjoyable XBL experiences there are when you get a good group. Crimson Skies is OK but not much talking and if there is it's trash talking.
