rolling before the streetlights are off as dawn is just starting to break.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In Attendance<\/strong> (buggies listed newest to oldest)<\/p>\n<table class=\"data\" style=\"margin-bottom:

clipped the bale that covers the sewer grate before the chute flag. \u00a0Her outrigged left wheel caught a piece of the bale and the buggy jerked suddenly towards the curb at decent speed. \u00a0Somehow the driver reacted without over adjusting and then got things together for a smooth chute and finished her roll.<\/li>\n<li style=\"clear: right;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" title=\"Desperado\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/2010-2011\/Fall-Rolls-Oct-23\/i-FJJzHz4\/0\/36333381\/Th\/DSC_6463-Th.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/>Pika brought out Desperado for a full-duty tour this weekend getting 7 rolls. \u00a0This is the same buggy that <a href=\"https:\/\/cmubuggy.org\/news\/2009\/10\/rolls-report-103\/\">came out last year for a single roll on a single day<\/a> that we guessed incorrectly was Cyclone. \u00a0In fact, Desperado is 2 years older, but had a much more prolific career with 8 racedays. \u00a0My first assumption was that they brought it out for driver training since Brimstone might be out after last week&#8217;s crash, but the driver is a sophomore who was previously in Nemesis. \u00a0Who knows what those crazy Pikes are up to. \u00a0Also, Desperado has the lowest ride height I think I&#8217;ve ever seen on a buggy. \u00a0I didn&#8217;t notice any rear diffusers, but that thing must generate some downforce.<\/li>\n<li style=\"clear: right;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" title=\"Haraka 90 degrees spun but saved\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/2010-2011\/Fall-Rolls-Oct-23\/i-WxCF6mc\/0\/a03faf6e\/Th\/DSC_6418-Th.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/>I was really going to lay off on Spirit this week, but I can&#8217;t ignore Haraka&#8217;s exciting weekend completely. \u00a0On Saturday, she spun 90+ degrees towards the inside bales but still managed to save it and\u00a0continue\u00a0rolling somehow. \u00a0She slowed down enough that the closely following Fuko came cruising past. \u00a0I actually heard Fuko&#8217;s driver exclaim something in surprise when she came around the corner and saw Haraka idling along, but she went safely around. \u00a0On Sunday a\u00a0different\u00a0driver was at the wheel and couldn&#8217;t quite pull off the dramatic save. \u00a0Instead she completed the spin and came to a stop without impact. \u00a0So &#8230; how easy is it to move a Spirit axle back a bit and change that weight distribution? \u00a0For those of you that were having trouble sorting out which buggy was which with Spirit&#8217;s new paint jobs this fall (like me), Fuko is yellow, Haraka is red, Seraph is green.<\/li>\n<li

Saturday which made me think that Borealis was still in the repair shop after<a href=\"https:\/\/cmubuggy.org\/news\/2010\/10\/rolls-report-oct-16\/\"> last week&#8217;s run-in with the bales<\/a>, but it made it out for Sunday and got 2 clean rolls in.<\/li>\n<li style=\"clear: right;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" title=\"SDC's Avarice\"

Saturday, and had a couple of slides early in the day. \u00a0Nothing where the driver was losing control, but close to the edge.<\/li>\n<li style=\"clear: right;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" title=\"AEPi red compound\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/2010-2011\/Fall-Rolls-Oct-23\/i-qmKm3xz\/0\/e72cf806\/Th\/DSC_6467-Th.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/>AEPi was rolling on a bright, not so subtle, in your face, vibrant red compound that I don&#8217;t think we&#8217;ve seen before.<\/li>\n<li style=\"clear: right;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" title=\"CIA h2 costume\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/2010-2011\/Fall-Rolls-Oct-24\/i-KZkkR5v\/0\/5c2d7307\/Th\/IMG_2508-Th.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/>CIA was having some fun in the wardrobe department with their hill 2 dressed in a driver-esque outfit. \u00a0I hope it went over well with the ladies because the driver costume is always a hit at buggy Halloween parties, but that is NEXT weekend.<\/li>\n<li style=\"clear: right;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" title=\"SigEp\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/2010-2011\/Fall-Rolls-Oct-23\/i-MVJ9QsL\/0\/898c0552\/Th\/DSC_6440.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/>I feel bad that I rarely have things to say about SigEp. \u00a0It&#8217;s probably not a bad thing though, they are out there rolling well, they just don&#8217;t seem to screw up very often.<\/li>\n<li style=\"clear: right;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" title=\"Bus in the chute\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/2010-2011\/Fall-Rolls-Oct-24\/i-STkvJJn\/0\/5bea0dcb\/Th\/IMG_2478-Th.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/>There was a coach bus parked about 50 feet short of the chute on the\u00a0gazebo side. \u00a0It was determined not to be a major problem and a couple of bales were put around it for good measure. \u00a0It&#8217;s a problem that we&#8217;ve had before and one that is tough to solve, but it makes me a bit uncomfortable since I&#8217;ve seen buggies crash there.<\/li>\n<li style=\"clear: right;\">I&#8217;m starting to worry a bit about SAE&#8217;s status as they weren&#8217;t out again this weekend. \u00a0They still only have 4 rolls although they now have 3 drivers listed in the sweepstakes spreadsheet. \u00a0 Maybe they just heard from Beta and SN that the fall is pretty much optional.<\/li>\n<li style=\"clear: right;\">[Times from Saturday only] Fringe had the top of the timing sheet all to themselves again this week with Bedlam leading the way. \u00a0SDC and SigEp were next in line but not with their top stuff by any means. \u00a0PiKA mostly took the weekend off from speed to focus on developing the new legends division in buggy. \u00a0AEPi had all of their fastest rolls of the year so far with Kamikaze, maybe that new compound is where it&#8217;s at.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Teams must have read the comment thread from last week&#8217;s news post in which alumni were wondering why there are so
