But Greg is primarily an SC player. He was 2nd to [[Alex Penev]] throughout 2001, until [[Ben Miller]] narrowly passed him in September. The top few players remained relatively inactive at this point, with Ben having a very narrow lead over Greg. Throughout the next 3 years, Greg's strong times kept him at the top of the ratings, though he was passed by several others: [[Mike Simmons]] and [[Louis-Philippe Sabbagh]] in early 2003, [[Steven Gutierrez]] and [[Myles Bukrim]] in early 2004, as well as [[Jason Whalls]]. Steven dethroned Alex in Sept 2004. Greg wasn't having any of that, being behind Alex for so long, that he couldn't let someone else have the fun. He made a strong comeback to kart at the end of 2004, and resumed posting on the forums. In Jan 2005, he pushed past Jason and Mike, and in Feb, Louis-Philippe. In April, Ben Miller was his next victim. All of a sudden, Greg had reached #4 again, but he had Myles, Alex and Steven ahead of him. Meanwhile, some Brazilian dude called [[Karlo Tomazelli]] was making a fuss a little way behind him. Greg pushed on and passed Myles, but Karlo narrowly passed Greg, keeping Greg still in 4th. Both of them were on fire in Sept 2005, and caught up to Alex. Greg passed Alex, but quickly had to fend off comeback advances from Myles and Ben, swapping between 3rd and 4th a few times. He remained 4th coming into 2006, until June, when he passed Steven. He then passed Myles for #2, leaving Karlo a long way in front. The fight for 2nd spot was still quite close between Greg/Myles/Steven. Greg stayed at #2 for four months before being passed by new uprising star [[Vincent Tolhuis|Vincent "VAJ" Tolhuis]] in October. As of 16-02-2007, he is still comfortably #3, a long way behind VAJ but a long way ahead of Myles.

Like Steven, Karlo and VAJ, Greg is only one of 4 players to reach [[God]] in SCs. He is currently #6 in [http://www.mariokart64.com/top100/universal.html Universal AF], and #4 in [http://www.mariokart64.com/top100/universalARR.html Universal ARR], so despite being mainly a SC player, his overall ''combined'' rank is very high.

Greg currently holds the WSSC lap record (2"13), the fastest lap in the game, and the DKSC 3lap with 20"92. He was tied for 28"00 with Myles on YVSC 3lap for nearly five years, until Myles landed a 'perfect' 27"93.
