Can you say superbowl hangover? \u00a0Fringe got off to a pretty rough start with a series of problems that kept them from getting around the course. \u00a0With only six orgs out, most were getting as many rolls as they could handle, but Fringe only got a couple of buggies back to hill 5 all day. \u00a0Ailments included fogging and helmet-based visibility problems and new driver navigation mishaps. \u00a0I honestly couldn&#8217;t keep track of which buggies were having which problems on which roll. \u00a0If I had an itemized list, it would be long. \u00a0To their credit, nobody ever crashed or damaged any of the buggies, so it seems they were using sufficient caution while they work up the learning curve. \u00a0Bonsai was safely in the garage throughout the tough day, probably good thinking.<\/li>\n<li><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/2011-2012\/Fall-Rolls-Sept-18\/i-tC7bKKd\/0\/30caa4d5\/Th\/DSC_0602-Th.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/2011-2012\/Fall-Rolls-Sept-18\/i-pFShxGq\/0\/485cff61\/Th\/DSC_0578-Th.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/>CIA is borrowing PiKA&#8217;s spot on the Tepper lawn until they make it back into buggy and I&#8217;d say they&#8217;re\u00a0channeling\u00a0some of the PiKA energy and confidence. \u00a0They were numerous, loud, and having a good time. \u00a0Their buggies rolled just fine for day 1 and they had time to kill for more sophisticated pursuits such as giving Freyja a super(wo)man cape and bagging and shoving the follow car. \u00a0They&#8217;re out for more than fun and games though, I noticed what I presume is some sort of data-logger on Ascension&#8217;s outrigged wheel. \u00a0That&#8217;s a pretty early start for data collection.<\/li>\n<li><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/2011-2012\/Fall-Rolls-Sept-18\/i-QHrJ5Jj\/0\/806901dd\/Th\/DSC_0558-Th.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/2011-2012\/Fall-Rolls-Sept-18\/i-WCxGWJ2\/0\/fe8045aa\/Th\/DSC_0586-Th.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/>Haraka (if I&#8217;m right that it was out) still has Rage edged by one year for the honor of oldest buggy on the course. \u00a0The freshmen out at buggy for the first time this weekend were learning how to walk when those buggies were built. \u00a0Impressive.<\/li>\n<li><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/2011-2012\/Fall-Rolls-Sept-18\/i-GhdnRPx\/0\/db686d113\/Th\/DSC_0569-Th.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/2011-2012\/Fall-Rolls-Sept-18\/i-dd9RVJn\/0\/514b5a01\/Th\/DSC_0570-Th.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/>AEPi, SDC, and SigEp got off to good clean, uneventful starts on the year. \u00a0I&#8217;m sure there&#8217;s more to be said about them, but I guess I&#8217;m rusty too. \u00a0I didn&#8217;t even get a single picture of SigEp. \u00a0I owe them a SigEp-only rolls report one of these days.<\/li>\n<li><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/2011-2012\/Fall-Rolls-Sept-18\/i-XqJz9SC\/0\/b7e96d84\/Th\/000010-Th.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/2011-2012\/Fall-Rolls-Sept-18\/i-LLT8WdW\/0\/d84077893\/Th\/000021-Th.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/>Spirit&#8217;s raceday 2011 paint jobs make their buggies even harder to tell apart from each other than usual. \u00a0The feather pattern is like zebra stripes that distract you from the little clues that differentiate them.<\/li>\n<li>KapSig didn&#8217;t make it out after being on the &#8220;scheduled to cape&#8221;
