The race started with all the players invited in an AOL chat room. Some funny incidents were happening because there were so many persons in the chat room. It was getting very noisy. 20 chatters typing and chatting all at the same time...

But what the players didn't know is there was a big twist in the game waiting to happen. This twist literally changed the game from good to bad. Still before the twist happens, some people know about it already...

The players rushed to the first clue creating a little lag on the server because 40 people were trying to access a single web page all at the same time. Leg 1 was all right and people came to the first Pit Stop. cheetor586 and XtrmVrs arrived at the pit stop almost at the same time.

But then the detour in leg 1 gave the players a really hard decision to make.

The Detour "Adopt" actually had an error. Players who did this detour began to complain. Almost all the players were sending instant messages to the host all the time and all at the same time. But some players already left for leg 2. They did the Word Search Detour. They link to leg 3 was given to all in the chat room. This caused confusion to because some players did not see it. But still, the clue was given in the pit stop chat room.

Leg 2 also had an error but not in the part of the race but because the web site www.nga.gov, which was one of the destinations of the race, was down and can't be accessed. Because of this, players can't get their next clue. They were all directed to leg 3. In leg 3 pit stop, only the first 8 people will not be eliminated. Still before people reach the pit stop, JasonJay428 quit the race.

I decided to quit because in Leg 2 .It wouldn't let me go to the website of NGA.gov and now i cant play the game in nick.com so it wont work sorry!

tropicalXangel77 also made an early decision to quit.
some things would not work(error) and i get stuck. but good luck other ppl

Still, most of the players did not find any problems in leg 3.

mookman87
My Say : Wow i can't believe julia is here too. i thought i went really fast. well, this one wasn't as challenging but it was interesting. it was great so much fun still

divaJulesx
My Say : I was moving along at a pretty fast speed there and I think I did great. Second place is outstanding and hopefully I'll be in first for the next one:)

seafoam007
My Say : well i didn't have any trouble with this leg, it was kinda fun!

houseswife
My Say : Although there was some confusion at first I found the game interesting and challenging.

Leg 4 came and players were getting very conscious of their positions in the game...

TwilightZ0ne00
My Say : Leg 1 - 4th, Leg 2 - X, Leg 3 - 7th, Leg 4 - 4th. I'm not doing too badly, but I'm gonna need to work fast to catch up with everyone in front of me.

DivaJulesx
My Say : Second place again. Ahh! Hopefully I'll take home the gold in this last leg.. I really would love to win this and I'm seriously going to give it 100% effort when I

Psycho Pericles
My Say : WOAH! I'm team #1... fun race so far. Leg 2 glitch wasn't fun...frustrating...since then been a smooth ride tho...some slightly frustrating events but not many...

...but still didn't loose their sense of humor...

zeddhead
My Say : that file took a while! omg! That rhymes!
 

In leg 4, there was already a predicted winner as Psycho Pericles rushed in to the 4th pit stop 1st.

<Psycho_Pericles> WAH?
<Psycho_Pericles> LOL
<Psycho_Pericles> u sacred the crap outta ma
<Psycho_Pericles> me
<Psycho_Pericles> that was a fun leg

In the end, Psycho Pericles, a 15 year old High School Student from USA won the race. He actually arrived in the finish line way ahead the others. He spent a total of 20 minutes in the finish line before gene_borres, team #2, arrived.

Overall, the race was good. But due to some errors in the race and the destinations the fun was cut off for a while... but the race was good!

TwilightZ0ne00
My Say : I came in third place. Not bad, I wanted first, but not bad at all. This experience has been exhilirating, frustrating, but overal FUN. Expect to see me on future seasons, for sure. Thanks for the great time!

gene_borres
