Hey, C-Mart! Would you also add my Mario Kart Wii code to the original post, as well. You have my Wii Friend Code listed, but, not my Mario Kart Wii code.
My Mario Kart Wii code is:
1676-4088-2265
Thanks!

Ok. The original list should be up to date. I'll also go in tonight and make sure all the Mii names are listed next to the DVDTalk user name.
When do we want to do the next one? I may be good for Wednesday night, but tonight, Thursday, and Friday are out. Of course, you don't have to wait for me to get together and race. I found the best way to keep track of the points (for purposes of posting the results) was to have my digital camera standing by and taking a picture of the screen at the end of the race.
P.S. Is it just me or is the Frontier(s) add in EVERY forum really, really annoying? I love accidentally scrolling over it at work and having people screaming on my computer.

The Frontier(s) ad made me completely not want to buy the DVD.

Well, it will have to be 7:30 pst or later for me to join in... I should have stated that earlier I guess. I'm in the office and don't get home until about 7 depending on traffic.
I'm cool with it if everyone wants to do it earlier. I'll just join in the next one.
Any rules for this one? Mii's or Mario characters? how about ALL random tracks?

I wish I could join you all, tomorrow night, but, I will be working. Weekends are about the only time I'll be available to participate in tournaments. However, I wish you all well in the races! Just post when the next tournament is scheduled for a Saturday (pretty much anytime after 11:00 AM Central) or Sunday (any time after 11:00 AM Central through 7:00 PM Central). I'm always looking to put a few more wins under my belt! (I hope nobody thinks I'm trying to be a show off. I just threw that in, in the spirit of competition!)

I just picked up the game on Sunday and I must say I'm loving the wii wheel.
It works much better than I would have expected.
I added many of you already, but I will go through tonight and add the remainder and I will post my Mario Kart Wii code as well.
I still haven't unlocked my Mii.
I went through the whole special cup and FINALLY finished with a trophy (I hate that rainbow road track). Only to find out that I needed to do it in the 100cc tracks in order to unlock my Mii.
So I have a lot more playing to do before I can unlock my Mii, so it prob wont happen before tonight. I still need to unlock the Star Cup and tropy in muchroom cup before I can even attempt the Special cup with the bikes.

I'll go in as soon as I get home and add those that haven't been added to my friends list. At 7:30pm PST I'll open the room and we can begin.
Characters: Use anyone you like
Kart/Bike: Use any that you like
Tracks: Always pick "Random"
Controls: Wii Wheel ONLY
Note: I do prefer the controls of the Wii Remote/Nunchuck more than the wheel. However, I feel using the wheel would make for an interesting tournament, especially for those like myself who pretty much use only the remote/nunchuck.

I'm certainly interested in giving it another go after not finishing too high last time, but I have zero interest in playing using the Wii Wheel, that thing got tossed aside as soon as I opened the box. I've only been using the Classic Controller.
I might pop on afterwards to see if you guys are still on just playing some general games and get in on that.

I haven't used the wheel myself in a while, so it will take some getting used to for me as well. To each his/her own I suppose, but I hope you join us.

I have added everyone on the first post of the thread, if you had a Wii code I used that, otherwise I used your MK code.
My MK code is now in my signature.
The only friends I can see in my list are Steebo and MadonnaMan.
I had sent Mario Kart mail to everyone with Wii codes earlier this week.

Thanks for the race!
Sorry for some of the seemingly random messages -- I accidentally hit send when I was scrolling through the messages. Still getting used to that message set-up. I was hitting random course names when I wanted to scroll.

Good races everyone! We had 4 show up for the first 2 sets of races, then 2 of us hung out and raced a couple more sets. I take pictures of the screens as we finish the races to keep track of points, but my camera ran out of batteries right after the last photo. As soon as I get some charge on it and get a few minutes, I'll post up the scores.

I had the same problem as Jadzia with the messages, so I probably seemed a little incoherent.
At one point I think I sent "how about random?" immediately followed by something like "How about a different track?".

Sorry I was unable to make it last night gang. Thought I might stay up a little late to do some racing; unfortunately, I was half right (got to stay up late, but it was due to the wee one not feeling well). Oh well, there's always next time!
