Physical cautions

The left outlane is the main drain, and kickback is not normally lit at every ball start.Do not force the 1-2-3 targets. Move the cabinet briefly so the playfield shifts under the ball, changing its speed or path after contact with a post, rubber, or wall. early and let Redline relight kickback when that route is close.
A missed upper-loop shot can fall among the traffic targets and toward the right outlane.Let a weak upper feed pass to the lower-right flipper instead of forcing the tiny Speed Millions window.
The tunnel holds the ball briefly, then feeds the upper flipper.Track the held ball and prepare the upper-flipper return before the eject.
