Well, depending on how competitive the competition is, the more points you'll have to score, but my regional competition didn't really have as much competition for Roller Coaster. I remember getting 29 out of 35 seconds for my best run, and probably got 200-250 points.

I know some people use tubing or wire to make "rails", but from what I've seen tubes that have been cut in half tend to work better, because when using those you don't have to make sure the width of the track stays constant.

predictions for nats :

1: 550+
2-6 : 500+ (I'll be around here HOPEFULLY)
7-10 : 450+
10-15 : 400+
15-25 : 350 +
25-35 : 300 +
35-45 : 200 +
Rest : 100 +
And then there's DQ people

Feel free to suggest edits.
