Doing my absolute best to not lose my mind (its not working)
WATCH THESE SPEEDRUNS LIVE: twitch.tv/iTheDashy

After an extremely long hiatus from speedrunning Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled, I decided it was finally time to come back and set a new personal best. Though my old record is from 2020, it still holds a spot in the top 30, so this won't be a complete walk in the park. We also won't be stopping at just a new PB, as I'd like to push for a 46:xx time. Join me as I knock the rust off and relearn how to play CTR in the big 2026. We will also be explaining a few important skips and topics relevant to NF's speedruns, such as Podium RNG, polswid, boss cutscene skips, easy Oxide race setup, and why you should use Rustland skins. also no the vtuber model is not going away.
