In the ideal world, we'd love to have our most talented students drive, regardless of age and class, but it's simply not possible at times for us. We can't send all of our underclassmen to our 1st regional this year because of the school system's liability rules when teachers take students on long distance trips. We only have one driver who would be covered under the school's insurance policy, and if we rent a van, we can only drive 15 students. Needless to say, we're a bit stretched out at competition, but due to our team's size, the 15 most important students to the operation go on the trip, and often times the students will be fulfilling multiple roles (drive team will be doing pit crew stuff, scouters may be in the pits, Coach might be scouting, etc.) so we need some experienced members to handle the immense amount of work to do with a smaller base of people.
