Response to Pole Position II - Should there be 4 categories?

from stephen krogman (skrogman@bellsouth.net)
These are the actual records for Pole Position 1 and 2. I also included a neat little story of the 2 world champions that went at it for the world record for hours... well, I'll just let everyone read it. The story was derived from page 885 and is a very intersting one of many found within the 200 pages of hilarious true stories found at the end of the book.

"Mike Klug, Pole Position champ, was at Twin Galaxies to break the world record shared by himself and Les Lagier. The high score of 67,260 had been achieved over one year before and Klug was hoping to make a breakthrough while at Twin Galaxies. Klug was a true warrior. He sat in the cockpit and played and played. After hundreds of games, he became so tired, that he rested his arms by driving the qualifying laps with his feet. Later, in 1986, Les would finally pass one more car to raise the wold record to 67,310. Les and Mike believe that even one further car can be passed before attaining a maximum score which can never be beaten."
