So, I am about to submit a 56.73 run that I did on the Atari, which would mean that four of us have tied that time all using an Atari {and no one has gotten higher with that system}. I'm starting to wonder if that's as fast as you can do it on Atari. I wish there's some way to figure that out like they did with dragster.

The way it was done with Dragster (I was fortunate to have researched this recently) was trough a tool assisted speedrun. We can try to see if it's possible to do this for this game to see what's the minimum possible time.
