You'd be right in guessing that his brother is Jimmy Thai.
I don't think I'd ever come as close to being that good at FZX. I only just submitted my times to FZero Central about an hour ago and they should be posted on Friday. I wonder how bad I am, although then again the PAL game is slower :/
And if you want someone obsessed with F-Zero, try me, I've gone as far to import the OST and download the mp3's of the Guitar Edition which I could not find anywhere. Hell, I even made an F-Zero quiz.
The mix is nice, but the remastered one is far far better. You HAVE to submit the redone version. It seriously kicks ass!
