Certain places can cause other racers to crash, letting you go on safely. - Other racers tend to swerve in front of you here and there. Make them crash. You will pass easily. - When you stop for gas, remember that 5 racers will have to pass you before you can go on. Balance gas and winning here. - Helper motorcyles will crash the other racers without any damage to you or them. If you have helpers, then crash all you can. - Certain parts of the course have interesting challenges. For example, on the second, there is a jump near the beginning right over the blue truck which then chases you, crashing and motorcycles in it's path. Keep going at top speed and let the truck do all the dirty work for you. Just make sure you suddenly pull aside and stop when the land gets clear, as the truck will speed up and it may crash into you. - Certain parts of the track could be paths, even though they will not look like it. The boat dock in level 2 for example, just do a top speed run. - Make sure you have the right tires. You need the Block tires in the Phoenix run in order to get top speed. - The turbo really increases your speed during the race. Make good use of it when you get it. It can mean the difference between winning and losing. =============================================================================== Credits ******* This is my guide, but I did not make the game.
