I can't be the first person to point this out, but when you crash your car explodes into a giant fireball.
This was obviously the inspiration for the 1992 movie Freejack 🙂

Hey - a marginal improvement.  I haven't finished a race yet, but I have come close
64,030

Listening to the Daytona USA Sega Saturn soundtrack while playing made me slightly less mediocre this run!
54,740
(It also helps to say "Time Extension - Your Time Has Been Extended" to yourself when you finish a lap)

I finally got some quality time to play this!  I forgot about what a fun game it is.

Exactly what I have been preaching for years!!!!!

As long as you are having fun, AC, that's all that matters.  It's why we play video games in the first place, right?  To have fun?  Get a break from reality?  And these old Atari machines are hanging around with us.  How cool is that?  It's all about having fun and making the best out of life, right?  Eat a few dots and ghosts, run around a race track, dig in the dirt, blast missiles out of the sky.  At the end of it all we live to do it all again another day.  Kind of sounds therapeutic.  OMG!  No wonder Mom bought that 5200.  She was giving me nasty medicine! I knew there was a conspiracy going on.

Guys keep pushing the limits of this game, don't let me win this.
My High Score: 68,600

****VERY STRONG LANGUAGE****
29570, no much of an improvement but going in the right direction. LOL
 
 

Thanks! It is the portrait that local (to me) comic artist Christopher Jones did a few years back.  I bought a signed print and took it to Midwest Gaming Classic to have Sven autograph it too! That was so fun!
He recognized the print right away (he does have one on set as well that you can see if you are looking for it) 

"Day-E-Ona! "  I never understood how someone could louse that up.  Then I discovered Babymetal and they completely silence the T in most English lyrics they use.  Although Su tries really hard bless her heart.
I've rocked out to that sound track in the past often.  It was one of my favorites.  Blue Sky was the one I listened to most.  Love the Svengoolie stuff @MaliciousCarp.

Dude you actually have Svengoolie artwork hanging above your TV. How cool is that?

ROLLING START!

I'm not Dauber, but I feel like I am qualified to answer this one since I have built a couple of arcade sticks for my 7800- I hadn't heard of the Easy 78 before you mentioned it - those look AMAZING.  I would definitely have gone that route had I known that they existed.  As it is my wiring is very...um... let's say "functional" 🙂 
Those look like they would have made life a lot easier!
