Thank you teams 648 and 658
 

Hey guys, i just wanted to say thank you for a great alliance at the Midwest regional. Lots of fun! We'll get em next time guys! No more bad luck, all right? Hope we're in the same division at nats, and if not, good luck to you.

Ya, both 648 and 658 are great to work with on and off the field. With the random pairing being the way it is this year teams should look beyond ranking and to the drivers skills and strategies used by teams through out the matches. Great working with you guys again and as Alex said, I hope that we get another chance at Nationals.

Yeah...Our team was paired with rookie teams 6 out of eight qualifying rounds.

Weren't there only about 10 out of 53 rookie teams there?

Something is not "random" about that...
