If you guys still want a grinding system, I kinda have an idea.
Ok, let's leave Speed Characters to have SPINDASH = 1 and everyone else 0. If it's possible with SOCing, you could have the spindash button off. That way, there's no way you can spindash, but when you touch a rail (which is actually a long platform with the --speed pad with spin--, it will force Speed Characters to go fast while spinning. And vuoila! A rail!
Not so sure if it's possible though, just letting you all know.
