I'm tired and will post a full explanation (not that we owe that to anyone) tomorrow as I know a lot of people were curious about how we pulled it off.

All I'll say now is my pit crew and drivers are champions and put up with hell this weekend but always kept a positive attitude and kept moving forward. No second was wasted and at no point was quitting ever considered. This is the most worn out they've ever been, but its also been our most satisfying win.

My scouts are also great, but they had a less stressful weekend

This game is incredibly physical, fun to watch, and easy to follow. FIRST did a fabulous job with this one!


Adam,
Before you post, let me say this:

As curious as I am about the logic behind the choice, it really doesn't matter.
We were all out run, out gunned, out done and then you won!
It was a hard fought battle and you came out the victor because YOU EARNED IT!! This is another shining example of what can be achieved if the work is put in to achieve it.

I want to go on the record as saying, Congratulations!!
