6. Tracks
*******************
(In No Certain Order) NOTE: All these SPLIT's refer to you racing FORWARD
NOTE 2: Any track help and/or Medallion Locations will be appreciated. :)
Pitbull Speedway:
Mainly a dirt track, its is kind of long and has lots of twists and turns so I would suggest
a higher armored car. SPLIT #1 When you approach the pink and blue sign, you will have 2
choices. You can go through the tunnel, or take the dirt road to the right. The cars take the
tunnel, but you can take the dirt road (if you go slow enough, you can get the powerups)
There is also a Medallion on the bottom. If its the final lap, take the tunnel cause its
faster that way. SPLIT #2 When you reach the second pink and blue sign, you can either go to
the left (where the powerup's are) or you can take the path to the right. The left is much
safer but a little slower. You can take the right path. Not too hard really, but you risk
getting a death from above because the cars fly a little leaving the left path.
Hunter's Quarry:
Another dirt road track, not as many turns but a lot of sharp ones though. Again try a high
armor car. SPLIT #1 At the start of the race, you can either go into the tunnel (where the
yellow lights are) or you can take the road on the left, since most cars take the tunnel,
take it if you need points, or if you're way behind take the left.
Storm Drain:
A really cool track in my opinion, this track takes place inside a sewer!! (dry of course)
You can take a medium car on this one, but watch for the corners. SPLIT #1 About 1/4 of the
track ahead there is a split. The right way is highly suggested. Not only less cars, but
theres a turbo boost there! SPLIT #2 Near the end, there is a split (my fav in my opinion)
where you can take the left (usually not that busy) or the right (has powerups and a little
faster) I suggest taking the right, or if you need time take the left.
Parking Lot:
My favorite! This one takes place in a parking lot with LOTS of tight corners, bad for the
beginning player. SPLIT #1 At the end there is a split (I'm gonna refer this to an
interstate) where you stay on the interstate or you take the exit. The exit is best for time.
You can stay on the interstate but you'll have to face a sharp turn.
Shadow City Tunnel:
Medium track, with lots of sharp turns. Take the high armor. SPLIT #1 Not really a split but
after the right turn near the start there is a ramp off to the right where you can skip the
90 degree corner. Pretty good idea, but watch for the explosives.
Shadow City T-Bone:
Just like the other Shadow City tracks, except for the big jumps. High armor is fine. I
didn't see a split. If you did, mail me.
Shadow City:
Heres the main track! This course can be easy at times. Amazingly, there are no splits. IF
you find a hidden one on this track, Email me.
Redneck Raceway:
HARD track to finish without a high armor. Also has a few splits too. SPLIT #1 There is a
tunnel to the left at the construction area. Not alot of cars and there is also a turbo
boost. After the tunnel there will be a sharp turn with explosives if you take it wide.
SPLITS # 2-3 Take a left or right. Hardly any diffrence between the two. (They are one after
the other) SPLIT #4 At the last corner, you can go through the fence and grab a few
powerup's. Don't take it if you need time. SPLIT #5 At the end, you can go straight or take
the pits. (Nothing will happen if you take the pits.) The pits has powerup's but they also
have explosives so look out!
Wasteland:
Lots of beautiful scenery makes this another on of my fav's. maybe a medium or high armor
here. SPLIT #1 Near the start there is sorta like a "gas station" where you can go through.
Just stay straight cause the red "gas pumps" explode.
Wasteland Fuel-Up:
Another beautiful track. Similar to the Wasteland track. SPLIT #1 is the same also.
Wasteland Bridge:
Wow, the Wasteland's are so cool!! Longer of the three. No splits here, if there is one i
didn't see, mail me.
Chemical Plant:
Cool! So here we are in pollution land, lol. LOTS of splits. Use a medium or high armor.
SPLIT #1 At the very start right after you go across the railroad track, you have a choice
(hardly a second to choose) take the right path, or the left. The right path has powerups and
less cars, so i suggest you take it. SPLIT #2 After taking a left and right turn you MIGHT
see a building you can go through. Not must of a reason to do it though. SPLIT #3 After split
#2 you will see 2 numbers: 10, and 11. it dosen't matter which way you go, really. SPLIT #4
after #3, you will see some const. fences. If you crash through them, you'll go through a
straight path right back onto the road (not a real reason tho) SPLIT #5 Afetr the right turn
there are 2 loading bay's. Whatever direction you take it will lead to diffrent roads!! The
left one is faster. SPLIT #6 After that you will see 2 options. a building with the number 3,
or the normal road. Take the normal road but room 3 has powerups.
SPLIT #7 After #6 you will see a building to the right. DO NOT TAKE IT. It is filled with
explosives, and has no real purpose. Stay on the main road.
USS Demolition:
Tough track with lots of sharp turns. High armor is suggested. SPLIT #1 Nearing the end, you
can either go toward the left, where the cars go, or go through the const. fences. Either way
is fine.
Meltdown:
Did you get the demo disk from ODCM? If so, this is the demo track! Medium or high is good
here. SPLIT #1 After that huge jump there is one tiny one, it don't matter which way you go.
SPLIT #2 After #1 there is one where you can take the left or right. Right has the powerup's
if you're low. SPLIT #3 There is one where you can take a 90 degree right, or stay on the
main road. The right path is shorter, so take it hehe. SPLIT #4 Near the end you can go
straight or stay on the main road. Don't stay on the main road, it has more cars and its
longer.
Scrap Heap:
Dirt track with lots of turns. High armor. SPLIT #1 After big jump there is a split on the
right side. There are powerups there. Your choice. SPLIT #2 Near the end there is a place
where you can go through a junk yard. Your choice again.
Here is where they are (NOTE: They are only availiable in League Mode) This is where they are
in order. If you find one I missed, mail me.
