Here's footage from the final race in the Street Pass Los Angeles tournament this past weekend. Unfortunately, it's just the scene and not the match itself. Anyway, congrats to Morvin Agular, who won the tournament.

I'm going to try to be around for the next tournament, which I heard is next month in Los Angeles.

Hit the link for more info. Here's a sampling:

Nintendo's latest Mario Kart game, Mario Kart 7, is launching soon. Next weekend, as a matter of fact! To mark the arrival of the last big game of 2011 (besides that laggard The Old Republic, anyway), 1UP is hosting a community meet-up here at our offices featuring food, prizes, and the opportunity to humble your favorite (or least favorite) editors with a Blue Shell. Join us the evening of Monday, Dec. 5 (the day after Mario Kart 7's launch) at 5:30 p.m. to participate in a MK7 tournament and compete for prizes provided by Nintendo! 1UP's editors will be on-hand, and we'll try to strong-arm some of our friends from IGN into participating as well.

The tournament will be held at Powersurge Video Fun and Fitness in Los Angeles.

Rules and information will be updated before the tournament. In the meantime, go tell them you're going on their Facebook event page.
