No hard feelings at all. To tell the truth, we breathed easier when we knew we wouldn't have to play your alliance in the finals. You guys were scary good.

Call it following the example of 2train last weekend. Buzz suggested calling our time-out first, and the rest of us agreed wholeheartedly. From a competitive standpoint, it was a tough decision since you guys are so good when you're up and running, but we all agreed we didn't want to win that way. Thanks for the awesome final matches, they were nerve-wracking to say the least.
In the same vein, the GP of the teams we knocked out of the elimination rounds was amazing. Almost every single team came to us and said something along the lines of "Good luck, we'll be cheering for you." It felt awesome to see not only our team and our alliance partners cheering for us during the finals, but several other teams as well. I don't know for sure which were cheering for us and which for our opponents, but that doesn't really matter; all the teams were rooting for everyone to do well. One team I really want to thank is 1727; several of them stood by the curtain near the field the whole time from semis on, encouraging us on the drive team and cheering their heads off. They were the first to congratulate us when we got off the field. Thanks, guys; you have no idea how good it felt to look over and see you rooting for us in between matches.
