You could also say that about quite a few teams who are at their first regional of the year. Friday morning this year 180 and 744 had a match where they only scored 7 points together and they battled for division win this year. It has a lot more to do with everyone working their bugs out and getting the drivers comfortable the only reason why PINK sticks out is because they work out more than everyone else combined
I think we set the record for number of times arriving at UCF with a box of parts, missing most, or all of our practice sessions, but then doing very well in the competition. It always bugs me that we operate that way, but in the end, we usually compete very well.
