I found that for a llot of the boosters they lie on the edges of the track, so just hold the side key and you get exactly the right place,

Also Hitting boosters was not as important as avoiding obstacles,

And lastly You don't need ALL the boostes by far, sometimes you go for a distant one miss return and miss again,
alot better to just skip 1 and hit an easy booster,

Yeah I'd really advise getting the heart of the guardian or mantle of the Force crystals once they become available. I actually got both and dual wield sabers. You beat the rodian enough at pazaak and he'll give you a 20% discount on all items. Depending on what you want I know if you put Rubat and one other crystal with the mantle it really decreases your force regen time. When you have the mantle installed you'll be able to tell which crystals these are. Very nice if you like to use Force powers.

You cannot upgrade your swoop. Found that out after looking at GameFAQs after I was loosing by tenths of seconds in Manaan. I really got annoyed by all the "boos". Won eventually though.

Oh, and as far as strategies, don't run in to walls or obstacles, don't rapidly press the shift gear button (both slow you down), and hit as many turbos as possible, but do not go for turbos if it means you'll hit something. But, just keep an eye on when you need to shift gears, because the sooner you do it, the faster you'll get.

And I found this for you on Game Faqs:

***Spoiler****Spoiler***







These are personal, and will depend a great deal on what sort of character(S)
you have that you want to use these. For a dual wielding offensive guardian I
have used:

Mantle (of the force) + Jenruax + Solari which gives a total of:
5-26D +4A +1Dex +5Def +2d6 v Dark

which compares to

Blue + Jenruax + Solari:
4-18D +3A +3D +5Def +1d8 v Dark (light side only)


As for the Heart (of the guardian) :

Heart + Sigil + Pearl which gives a total of:
4-32D +5A

Which compares to

Blue + Sigil + Pearl:
5-24D +4

(you could swap Sigil for Opila with no real issues, but I have never had any
real droid issues either).

Once you find the Upari and Sapith crystals, these should be swapped in using
the nearby workbench. I swapped them for the Jenruax (I had an odd number of
Dex points) and the Sigil - but it is up to you. They are very nice, if late,
crystals to collect.



Either of these special crystals can make a huge difference to your light saber
and the new colours are nice also. Go get them!

****SPOILER SPOILER*******






1). No clue, I dont swooprace that much :P

2). Be sure to hit every single speed increaser on the floor (you know those turbo thingys) and have a quick gear change

3). I had:
lightsaber with the following christals which were to my opinion the best:

Base: Heart of the guardian (place it in the color christal slot)
left christal slot: Solari Christal
Right christal slot: Upari Christal.
and that combination was to my opinion very good :)
