## History

### 2019-2020

Snuffy created his main account in Season 24, but did not race in that season or the next, Season 25 (Xmaxx). He first started racing in Season 26; he reached nearly 50 session races on his first day and made his own team, garnering about 750 races total this season. Snuffy was very active in Season 27; he completed a 256 race session, received Nitro Gold, and completed over 1,000 races total, earning the Vapor in its original release. He would also earn the Trifecta (1,000 races) during Season 27.

Snuffy completed a fairly decent amount of races in Season 28, and at one point was on the 24-hour leaderboards after another long session and multiple other smaller sessions. Snuffy did not race in Season 29 as he was not allowed to; he was however able to claim the Webmobile Spider, a gold member-exclusive car. During this season, he created team FTINT with an alternate account (alt), which occurred on October 25, 2020. Snuffy also made a new account, username "trollingnoobs36", which he used on FLPR and other teams, and completed a 50-race session on another alt.

### 2021

#### January-June

In Season 31, Snuffy raced on trollingnoobs36 and another account, "snuffsbackup", completing the season on both accounts. He made two new alts in Season 32 and started racing on the account which is captain of FTINT. In Season 33, he finally got his main account back via email. He achieved 3,000 races during this season and raced minimally on alts.

#### July-December

Snuffy again raced minimally in Season 34, as it was a Summer season. His gold membership expired on June 23, 2021. He raced a reasonable amount in Season 35. His racing picked up in Season 36, intending to get FTINT competitive, and in total he had over 1,300 races this season. During this season, he also reached 5,000 races and renewed his gold membership the day before the season ended, November 27, 2021. He also earned the Mini Sherman (5k races) during Season 36.

Snuffy raced a significant amount in Season 37, with over 2,500 season races. He helped team FTINT get to just shy of top 100, peaking at 106th, before his winter break. This was also the first season he joined a team besides his own, joining several different teams before returning to FTINT, including TALK, M4NTA, and AGNCY, where he completed over 200 races for the team in their historic blitz.

### 2022

#### January-June

In Season 38, Snuffy completed around 2,390 races and reached the ∞50 tier. This was his best season in terms of races, and he, his friends and classmates, and the rest of FTINT continued to try for competitiveness. He would also earn the Corsair (10k races) during this season.

Season 39- Vol. 1 saw low activity for Snuffy, as he only completed around 550 races, which in this volume of Nitro Arcade was still enough for ∞6.

Snuffy's activity for Season 39 - Vol. 2 is unknown, but he probably raced around the same amount, as he did complete the season.

#### July-December

Snuffy was fairly inactive in Season 40, only completing a few tiers.

His activity was again fairly low in Season 41, only completing around 587 races and reaching ∞8.

Snuffy's race count in Season 42 was lower, at around 480. However, Nitro Math released teams on October 4, 2022, which was during this season. Snuffy created a Nitro Math team with the tag FTINTM, being branded as "the math version of FTINT", the same day, making his team one of the older teams on the site. He reached top 50 racer on Nitro Math as well as captaining the team as high as 4th, although it is unknown if that happened during this season. Between Nitro Type and Nitro Math, he reached ∞25.

Snuffy's activity continued to be just enough to finish seasons, as he would complete around 320 races and 88 games in Season 43 and reached ∞4.

Snuffy's Nitro Type activity increased during Xmaxx 2022, where he completed around 550 races and only 28 games under the temporary name "Xmaxx Snuffy". He reached ∞2.

### 2023

Snuffy became a very active player, however, during Season 45, where he would complete around 1,300 races and 150 games and reaching around ∞38. During this season, he would also bring his Nitro Math team back to the top 50 on multiple occasions and even top 10 in the early parts of the season, as well as finally reaching top 100 team on Nitro Type, as FTINT reached 98th place, which can be seen on an episode of The Nitro Shop With Dave.

In Season 46, Snuffy continued to be active and grind races. He completed over 1,500 races and captained FTINT as high as 46th, as well has having FTINTM in the top 50 for a portion of the season.

While Snuffy was not very active in Season 47, he nevertheless completed the entire season.

In Season 48, Snuffy was also not especially active. During this season, he reached 17,000 total races, but also did not finish the season until around 21 hours before its end. During this season, FTINT also reached and surpassed 160,000 total races.

Snuffy strongly disliked Season 49 and did not race much at first, but after Ally hosted a cash comp for the team, his activity increased. He did not win anything in the cash comp, but is activity increased, doing a 270 session and getting a new high speed later that week. He would go from scarcely active to surpassing infinity 20 and reaching 18,000 lifetime races. Beginning with Ally's comp, FTINT's activity also increased and they would be back in the top 100 for the first time since April, climbing as high as into the mid 70s and surpassing 170,000 total races. By the end of the season, he had nearly 1,100 season races.

Season 50 started just days before the expiration of Snuffy's Gold Membership. It also started during a time when he was sick and staying home from school, giving him time to race. After only getting a few levels when the season started, he would do a 412 race session, beating his old best session by 111 races. He would then finish the season the next day about 12 hours before his Gold expired.
