Maybe I can try to get this to work, possibly by adding a kid to the parent brlyt (Probably the timer), and then filling it in with the needed data. Also, hard coded offsets suck, and we don't need that thank you!
EDIT: I will use the lap counter since it is in all modes except battle. It is actually quite easy to switch which part of the UI gets modified by simply checking which mode the user is in.
The problem with that adding stuff to existing UI elements is that you can't use existing mods with it. If I wanted to use an existing Race.szs mod, I would have to add in the speedometer. Also, since the lap counter is at the top, when the game is paused, the speedometer would move up instead of down and off screen (still no idea how that works). That's why I've shifted my focus to trying to create new UI elements.
