In the Zone
Use a full Turbo without hitting anything

Eye of the Needle
As a Racer, drive through an undamaged Road Block without hitting it
Identify the gap between cruisers well in advance and steer through cleanly; brushing against either roadblock vehicle or roadside flare fences voids the unlock.
