Welcome to our 102nd Squad Challenge, the 2021 Pole Position II Grand Prix! This will be our 4th Annual Pole Position II Grand Prix Event! This year's Grand Prix challenge will run until June 30th, 2021 racing the SUZUKA Track for your best possible score! Suzuka is THE HARDEST TRACK in all of Pole Position! Most of you will not make it to the finish line. Many of you will not even qualify. But strap in, rev your engines, and give it your best shot! Even if you don't finish the game, post your highest score and show off your accomplishment! Pole Position is one of the most iconic arcade games released by Atari and was genre-defining for its time, setting a new standard of what racing gameplay could be like. Pole Position II was included as the pack-in title for the Atari 7800 and is often revered as the first game 7800 owners played on their new game system. For many of us 7800 gamers, Pole Position II was the first video game we ever owned! I have so many wonderful memories of playing Pole Position II at Chuck E. Cheese's with my family, shifting gears and whipping around corners with a cheese stick in my hand and a cup of root beer on the floor under my feet. It also became one of my favorite games to play at home and remains a wonderful memory on the Atari 7800. ROM and Instruction Manual are provided below. Good luck to our Racers!

 

NOTE: Another fun Squad Challenge Event is coming up on July 1st!

I always end up in 3rd place on the positioning round.  I'll bet my score would go up if I could get at least 2nd. 

 

I've managed to secure the pole position or 2nd place. Then I've managed to crash a lot hahaha
