To put a 54 point match in perspective, only two teams averaged at least 54 points per match on Friday on the Galileo field at Championship. (95.2 & 55.6 points per match)

Of the 426 individual team performances on Friday in Galileo, there were only 29 occurrences of at least 54 points. (That's less than 7%) These 29 performances were recorded by 13 teams. When we look at the teams who did this in more than one match, the number drops to 5.

What I'm trying to say is that Speed Racer's performance at Beantown Blitz, was one of the best offensive performances of the season, only being matched or outdone by teams including 25, 195, 121, 217, 254, 330. Simply put, Speed Racer is very, very good.
