I am rooting for you guys though. Lets see if we can have another repeat of detroit except, can you let us be on the winning side  |
They sure are. It's amazing - two weeks ago they were at Detroit. That means between then and now, they had one 10 hour fix it window to construct, etc etc.
I'm always amazed at how much they can do in a short time.
Their drive train at Detroit was excellent. High speed and crabbing well. Add in an efficient shooter and they'll be a force.
FYI, they didn't completely rebuild. They took their ball-picker upper and put that down low to flip the ball onto their launcher, which is an all new kicker hooked to a winch system and fired with what looks like surgical tubing. I couldn't get too close a look because they spent the entire day working on it. Should be interesting how far they can get.
