Can anyone out there convince me that this is not Leeching?

This is taken from the TG Help page:

at no point did you make an attempt to progress through the level, this is also not in the intended spirit of the game.
WHAT IS "LEECHING?" - INFORMATION AND GUIDE


Term - "Leeching" is also referred to as "hunting" and "point scrabbing" by both Twin Galaxies and members of the gaming Community


"A means by which a player accumulates additional points in game while engaging in activities that do not contribute to progressing to the next stage, screen or level, and while such activities are engaged, a player is not inhibited to progressing to the next stage, screen or level during commission of said activities. In general, a player should always be making a meaningful or conservative attempt towards progression within the generally accepted intended spirit and direction of the game." The rules that follow governing leeching/hunting/point-scrabbing shall apply universally to all arcade, home console, emulation, hand-held, mobile and PC-based gameplay efforts.

If you're going for a "No" vote on this submission, it would be better to go after having the track rules changed to have language added. Something to the effect of "braking and jumping in place at any time during the submission is strictly prohibited, and will result in immediate disqualification". I would be all for that kind of a sensible rule being added, and would then vote No myself. But as it stands now, there are no rules and it's anything goes.

Regarding the tact you are taking, however, it has already been discussed repeatedly and long since decided and well established on TG that the above leeching rule does not apply when the game/level has a timer.
