Can we have a few cops there so it feels like a regular event. What is an HPD meet W/O a few tickets. This should be exiting.

Does the winner win anything or is it just bragging rights?

Will there be any power up boxes around the track? I hope they at least got the blue turtle shell and the banana peels.

I'm sure that can be arranged. We could also have Police Go-Karts chasing us around the track?..
