Comparison/Explanation/Documentation of various methods of using null tires to save time on YV lap.
Null tires = setting the floor type under your tires to 0 instead of whatever the floor actually is (8=grass, 7=sand, etc.). Since 0 is not considered off-road, having null tires while on grass lets you avoid the speed loss from off-road.

Improved the 0.98 to 0.92, then suddenly figured out a nice improvement for 0.69. Was able to save another .01 after that to get this.
Exact time = 0.6878

I didnt even realize it was possible to go this fast. Theres still probably a few more frames that can come off by starting the lap lower, but not much more.

Exact lap time = 0.9998. Never expected this to go under a second, but here we are.
More than 60 frames at 60 fps = less than a second? Must be floats.

What a pain.
Tiny modifications to Weathertons 1.20 to save 0.01. Also remade the whole setup from power on instead of starting from savestate.
Exact time = 1.1991
