Luckily for 148 "Tornado" turned out to be pretty much bullet-proof all weekend. I think the only maintenance our pit crew really did was change the battery and grease the gearboxes. This means our pit crew didn't have a whole lot to do, right?

Wrong. I'm extremely proud of the fact that our students were all out working their butts off helping other teams at the Dallas event. I know they all slept soundly on Saturday night.

I know we were not the only team doing this. There was plenty of help to go around.

Andrew, looks like your hopes came true.
