Gameplay
Race though 16 stages across the United States to win! You must reach each checkpoint before the time runs out, otherwise the race (and the game) is over. Collisions with other cars break the car and cost time. The cops will actively try to push you off the road.

After every 4th stage, you can choose an upgrade. If you were too slow, your girlfriend, Norma, will leave your car. She will come back to your at the next checkpoint if you are fast enough.

Available upgrades:

	Hipower Engine	Provides 20% faster acceleration
	Higrip Tyre	Better traction, you can steer in curves even at full speed
	Special Turbo	Turbo won't overheat as fast

Turbo:
To activate turbo, first reach the max RPM where the pin hits the redline. Then press up+fire button. The turbo remains on while you keep your RPM in the red zone. Hitting the curb, another car or braking slows you down and the turbo session is over. Keep your eye on the overheat indicator, sometimes you need to cool down a bit.
