So I’ve been getting some questions about which drivers are qualified, who’s close ect. Going into truck weekend, I feel like you guys should know who got their act together, who’ll just barely make it in under the wire, and who might be looking for some forgiveness. Right now, there are 4 orgs that seem like they’ve been prepared for this, and several that are very very close.
Surprisingly, only a couple teams are in danger of needing forgiveness. My recommendation to teams at this point would be to work as quickly and efficiently as possible at rolls and to focus on pass tests.
Buggies marked in Green are totally qualified before truck weekend. For some reason the roll counts from Spring 2012 are missing, so the years driving numbers may be slightly inaccurate in a few cases. Last Drove section is based on last raceday, so new drivers will not have anything for that section. Only drivers that were close, or could be considered possible for Raceday in my mind were included, it’s possible that there will be some additions which I did not consider.

UPDATE: Hey guys, so real quick, I got some concerns about drivers being left off the list. Here’s a little more detail that might clarify some things. Multi driver buggies aren’t common for raceday, so I tended to take the most qualified one and go with that. Also, any drivers needing 6 or more rolls (aside from fringe, since they would then only have 2 buggies) were generally not included. Again though, there will probably be some surprise qualifications and forgivenesses.
Anon says:
To clarify, you are aware that new drivers in old vehicles (i.e. buggies they drove the previous semester) only need 7 rolls to qualify while drivers in a new vehicle need 10 rolls to qualify? There are some buggies you marked down with “rolls needed” who are actually qualified.
ben says:
All of this was taken directly from the sweepstakes spreadsheet. However, there might be an error here and there. Are there any in particular that you would like more info on?
Zatchmo says:
Um… Fringe? Is everything OK? Want to talk about it?
Shafeeq says:
Some interesting absences on this list – CIA’s Ascension, Fringe’s Bonsai, both A team not that long ago. What will SigEp D use?
Since heats are already known, it’s clear that teams like AEPi A or SigEp D will have no need to pass during the race.
Jake says:
I think SigEp D will be pandora; kraken is somehow not listed (and it needs rolls!)
ben says:
Kraken needed 8 rolls and a pass test before Truck, also they would need her if they want to have a D team (can’t have two pandora teams of the same gender). I smell some forgiveness begging coming.
Gimli says:
Bonsai crashed a couple years ago and had serious shell damage. I believe the steering was reused for Bissa.
Sam Swift says:
This is a picture of Bonsai rolling last March 24th, after Bissa had been rolling for a year

No mention of a crash then or any time afterwards
