man, we love IRI... I think they also factor in previous winners to the worthiness to come.
just a tip, lay off the horn on Albert this year, that got aggravating in the pits
might be an interesting time coming down this year if we get accepted (hope we do), then again the students had to foot the bill last year and we went without our team leader(he went on a motorcycle trip to alaska with his wife, that made her happy considering she almost never sees him during the build season). was a fun supprise for him when we won! (thanks 67 for picking us

(i would also thank the other teams on our allience but i cant remember their #'s (sorry)))
oh and the other teams afraid of us Midwest teams, im gonna agree with lenny8 and say that you should show us up!
