If you looked at this weekend and last weekend out of context, you would have guessed that there were several weeks in between. Last week we saw plenty of crashes, both days, and very slow rolls. This time around, most teams have picked up the pace and there were only a couple minor incidents between both days. That, combined with very efficient teams, means both days got several cycles and plenty of rolls for everyone.
Saturday started close to on time and ran incredibly smoothly throughout. In the last half hour or so, some VERY light rain rolled through, which was just enough to pause rolls for a few minutes. The course was still plenty dry after the clouds passed and rolls continued and finished without incident. Saturday also showed the return of SAE and SigNu meaning that all but one org was out on the course that day. Sunday started right on time and continued the same smooth rolls that happened the previous morning. By 8:30, sweepstakes had already gotten in 3 complete cycles. This was only helped by the fact that there were only a handful of orgs out as most of the frats decided to only come out on Saturday.

Coming into this weekend, it was looking very dreary, but somehow we managed to fit in between the weather, or just made it go away all-together. Buggy is now back to normal after the first one day weekend followed by another off and boy did it show. Even long-standing veteran teams looked like they were caught by surprise when Sunday rolled around.
After finally starting rolls last week, Teams were getting back into the swing of things. Everyone was rolling well, but it seems like teams are getting in a semester’s worth of stops in these few weeks we have left. Despite the crashes, stops, wheel losses and other issues, most teams are still getting things done and already have a few combinations qualified for Raceday. We still have one weekend left before Truck weekend, here’s hoping teams can sort out their issues and become the lean mean racing machines they need to be.
It’s the last weekend of fall rolls and from what I can tell it was a flurry of activity both days. The teams will now have a chance to sleep in on the weekends instead of sleeping in the afternoons, and make up all those assignments they neglected. By assignments, I of course mean builds, and from what I hear, there’s the potential for several this year. Only time will tell who will come out with new buggies when.
