Who knows... maybe in 2012 we'll be on the same alliance.
Yes, this drove me crazy from the driver's station all season. (Especially when the defense is so unrelenting!) We've been working on it for over a year now. I don't think it's inherent, but it's at least been stubborn. We're hoping to beat it this season. We'll see how it works when we play with each other at Champs!
