I know of 2 players who posted 5.61 times on Youtube for Dragster. I think these should be added to the leaderboard.

if you are interested, I can make you moderator of this game ^^

That would be greatly appreciated.

Well if we're going to do that, shouldn't we add Todd rogers to the list? I know there is no video proof but it's a confirmed record by twin galaxies. Which I know is a dated website for speed runs but it doesn't make any sense to have a speed run leaderboard of dragster without Mr. Activision himself

I don't think Todd Rogers has a speedrun.com account though

Canada

You are added as a moderator, Andrew

Tasmania, Australia

You don't need an account, I'm pretty sure the moderator can add in times on behalf of the player

Florida, USA

Oh I thought you meant add him as a moderator. Sorry about that. Well, long story short, Todd Rogers' 5.51 is very controversial, and unless he actually has video proof of himself getting a slower time, he probably won't be appearing on the leaderboard is my guess

Canada

Chef, moderators can indeed add times of players that don't have accounts, here's an example: http://www.speedrun.com/run/0znx7lyn

TheWinslinator, here will only appear times with a video proof, yes.

"Rules

Use in-game timer.

Video proof is required ; all runs submitted without a video will be rejected."

There is no video proof of a 5.51 ever occurring. I also don't believe there are any 1st place world records without video proof on speedrun.com

That's a fair call, I guess we're starting from scratch. But what about the dozens of other times on twin galaxies, I'm pretty sure they have proof

New Brunswick, Canada

if you can find the videos they should be able to go on the list, but some were verified by referees, and others just sent the video directly to them

http://www.twingalaxies.com/showthread.php/175921 This one by Roger 111 should be added too. 5.77

Well to be honest, I understand that we should have a look around for other times, even try to find the best times for a game but i think it is not our responsibility to add every run with video ever made to every game on every leaderboard; if person x wants to be on this leaderboard he can add himself. I see how some old video has value to the community, if the video was the last using an old technique or was a landmark for that game at that time - i can see how we want to add those times for historical reasons and so on. Of course this is just opinion based, which run is important and which not cannot be easily set by someone so I just wanted to point what kind of reasoning I have here.

if todd rodgers did do a 5.51, he can record it and do it again

Florida, USA

But he hasn't done it. That time will not be submitted to the leaderboard until he does.

Kentucky, USA

We don't know if he did it or not, but if he did, he can push record and do it again.
