FIRST is not a destination, its not the reward, its the slingshot that will launch you from where you are, to where you can be. - KenWittlief [more]

I have never been a driver, but I can only imagine. I completely sympathize with you guys. I will never forget the look on Kevin Kolodziej's face (two year driver for 71) after IRI last year. I mean, the guy has two national championships under his belt, he was the box man before that, and had driven well over a hundred matches. And his face was just sad, like something for him had just ended. While you may go on in FIRST, you can never drive again- and that glory is just kind of stripped from you.
