Re: Duel on the Delaware (Official Thread) - Any predictions?
I just got back from duel! :D
Very fun competition...We didn't do so hot, though. I think about everything that could break broke. We ended up just driving around the field with two deader than dead tires and a broken arm, attempting to herd/defend/keep other teams from getting points. ah well. sorry to all the teams allied with us, we were NOT having a good day. :ahh: And thanks to everyone who puts this competition together, it was great :) . |
Re: Duel on the Delaware (Official Thread) - Any predictions?
Wow what can i say, that was an amazing time.
thanks to 316 and 365-it was one of the best offseason competitons that i have ever been to. Almost no delays(only one was ours, when we couldnt get the treads on). Food was great and the rounds were run soo smoothly. And thanks to our Championship alliances partners of 222 and 225 for putting up an amazing victory. 225 great job sticking it out in the semi's, and Henry(222) i must admit that was one of the best rounds of driving i have ever seen in the final final match. A 3 second remaining hang, just woh :yikes: . Congratulations to all other winners on the day, 816, 303, and 007, for being a great final round match-up. Once again, thanks to all, was a pleasure being there today. |
Re: Duel on the Delaware (Official Thread) - Any predictions?

Re: Duel on the Delaware (Official Thread) - Any predictions?
DOTD was my very first competition, and I had a wonderful time!
Everyone there was so nice and welcoming. Thanks for a great first (haha...puns) experience....I think I'll be coming back for more. :D |
Re: Duel on the Delaware (Official Thread) - Any predictions?
Omg....222 and 25 on the same team, I thought it wasn't meant to be?!?!
Guess not, haha. Great job 25 (corey and bharat) 225, and all teams out there. This was even better than last year's Duel in my opinion. I had tons of fun. PLus my team got a couple of newbs into the scene here. Thanks goes out to everyone involved with helping Duel function in any way. Can't wait till next year (defending our 2 year straight title.) edit/ P.S. Will there be match videos available online or...anywhere? /edit -Henry |

Thanks to all the teams who competed, either with battle-worn vets or team members on their first tour of duty. There were some big time hits going on throughout the day. Thanks to all the volunteers (about 100) who directed traffic, served food, set-up and took down the field, and provided entertainment. Thanks to NASA (the Mike and Pete show) for the field and their time, Ron Partridge for the emceeing and the blimp, Bill Enslen for the play-by-play, Brandywine Electronics for the A/V, Jake Warren for the end of event video compilation, Salem Community College for the venue, DuPont for the monetary donation, and Success Won't Wait for coordinating the book drive.

Thanks to 222 for picking us (first) and for 225 for the great play. Even with those damned treads popping off we seemed to do OK to buy time for the Claw, which was consistent and dominating. Thanks to all on the Miracle Worker and Lunatecs teams for hosting a great day. And thanks to all we played with and against for great competition and lots of fun action. We'll see many of you next week at Brunswick Eruption- and we will still squeeze in any teams who want to get in on the action. Drop me an e-mail. WC :cool: (very tired) |
