We "gave it a spin" tonight with Thundr, who got his settings worked out so he can play with us too.
The first several runs found myself trying to bust both Thundr and Atholon, and while I came close a few times, was never successful.
Then we switched to me running from them as a lone racer... and you guessed it, couldn't get away. It was fun though, so we all started taking turns being the lone racer, on a quest to be the first one to evade the cops and win the race.
I was finally victorious on one run where I missed what we thought was a shortcut... Atholon attempted the shortcut only to find it was a dead-end. Thundr ended up with a fatal crash that took him out of the race as they tried to catch up with me. A few miles later, the finish line was finally in sight. I checked my radar and saw Atholon quickly approaching; but it was too late.

| Victory ahead! |

| First lone racer victory of the night. |
Our final race had Thundr and myself chasing Atholon. Thundr unfortunately wrecked out of the race, and it left me tailing Atholon for the next 5 miles. Those 5 miles had us careening through the streets, myself ramming Atholon's car as often as possible, and Atholon hitting the brakes and letting me fly on by as often as possible.
It came down to the wire, and we thought there would be a 2nd lone racer victory for the night; but I finally got that last bash in... cops win.
Here is a shot Thundr took just before the bust, and one I took of the wreck when the bust occured:

| Take that punk racer!!! |

| So close... yet so crashed... BUSTED! |
I'm also happy to report that we had no connectivity issues as far as getting gamers into the lobby was concerned. Jarin had one drop out of the game, but it was due to alt-tabbing out to capture the screenshot you see above... now we just need to get eight of us together at once instead of little 2's and 3's here-and-there.
Hopefully that'll happen soon...
GG!
