If they've improved it, it was since Friday at Palmetto. (We played a match with them and 337 (I think), and there was some concern about their ability to get up. In the end, they were the ones who got lifted when the ramp went flat, while we climbed.)

I will agree, however, 1902 stands to be a tremendous asset to their partners in qualifying--compare their performance these past two years with your average team in the 1900s--and have a high probability of picking. If they can avoid catching air climbing down from ramps*, Einstein is entirely possible.
*That's not a 2007 reference.
