I would just wait until the server resets today or tomorrow. Log your Toon out next to the Race coordinater so that when the server come back online you can be the first to do the track. As a note if you note down the time need to complete the race you can then beat the time and sit and wait near the finish line so that others can complete the track as well. Otherwise people will be in the same boat as you.
BTW my fastest time round the new lok track was 1600 dead. Has anyone broken the 1600 mark???

the only way i was ever able to get the badges was to log at a track and be there as soon as the server starts, as was suggested.. i got all three available at the time in one morning (keren, mos eisley, agrilat)

Mine is 1692 for the Lok course, I had a little problem with a Kryat Dragonat the top of the volcano!
No you guys keep saying to log on at server reset, but when exactly is that?

Not sure what time they reset at, but I did the three tracks, Rori, Talus and Lok, on Monday morning at around 7:30 AM (EST). Did them in that sequence. One person had already done Narmle, but the ones on Talus and Lok were not yet attempted when I did them.

That is my question, the servers dont regularly shutdown and restart anymore. for the time being, at least. So what time does the timer reset the race records? ill try early in the morning, like someone else suggested in this post. Thanks!

I was wondering since the server dosent shut down and reset each night, what time do the records for the races reset? Every time I go to em the time is way to low for me to beat. Was hoping to race closer to reset so I have some chance of getting the badges. Thanks! My server is Lowca, if that makes a difference.

1592 on the Lok Track on Eclipse.
It helps if you're speeding towards the Great Maze and dismount, hit burst run and run all the way through and back. Saves plenty of time. If your server doesn't have a ton of cities that you have to maneuver through, you'll get a ton of time shaved off as well.
Also helps to have the Vehicle Control line out of the FS tree...

i am guessing that the times are going to be reset at whatever time it was that the server used to reset, i know on chilastra that time in GMT is going to be either 12:00 or 13:00, depending on whether it is reset at start of reset or end of reset,

Agree, dismounting for the maze was the key. Tops on Lowca was 1592, and after 3 attempts finally got it to 1584. Cutting the corner and avoiding the hill on the 2nd to last leg (around the back of Nyms stronhold) saved me a few seconsd, then a clean run thru "town" to the finish. On my 2nd attempt, I got hung up on something and didnt make a smooth run thru town. Also, when going around the volcano, stay on the edge, do not go strait at the WP, save you some time up and down the steepness.

I plan to post a hint on the Maze on Lok, I figured it out and once I get it drawn out I will post. Now all race tracks reset every 24hrs at the time the server would normally would go down (if no server reset is schelduled). Now as far as most times they reset to, some are very difficult to achieve and require close to perfect performance.
