The title of the picture was a bit of a joke, this year we're trying to make speed our thing and got a lot of compliments at GLR about our quickness. I think it was actually caused either by us running into something while turning or a team running into us during a traffic jam.

You guys still had one heck of a slick drive and were thus awarded "The Michael Diaz Beastly Drive Train Award" from us. Again, thanks to you and 27 for agreeing to pick us for the elimination rounds.
