After a rainout on C\u00e9ilidh weekend, this past Sunday was designated as our official fantasy buggy showdown. \u00a041 people entered our first ever fantasy buggy game to take \u00a0their shot at the $250 “ticket to carnival” grand prize sponsored by NumberFire.com<\/a>. \u00a0Fringe and CIA timers helped out to collect times that could be shared publicly so we also got some of our best data so far of the season.<\/p>\n

Jake Mohin (SigEp mechanic, ’10) outfoxed everyone else, taking home the grand prize with a total time of 550.2. \u00a0He made the best of his inside info, picking SigEp as a backhill team while the rest of the top 5 picks had them for the freeroll. \u00a0Jake adds,<\/p>\n

“I knew our chairman was pushing pretty hard for our guys to make a strong showing in terms of pushing so I made a gamble and left us off the free rolls list to give us the #1 Back hills. \u00a0In terms of roll number, I banked on 3rd free roll always being fastest. Pushers are usually slow on third first run from being sleepy, fast on their second push, and exhausted on their third.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There were a number of surprises on the weekend that may have affected the results. \u00a0KapSig and SN haven’t made it back out, so we only had 7 teams. \u00a0Because it ended up happening after daylight savings time, most teams got 5 rolls, but we had restricted it to the first 3. \u00a0For what it’s worth 14 of the top 20 overall times were in rolls 1-3. \u00a0Picking the right Spirit roll was probably critical as Fuko wasn’t out, Haraka never finished a roll, and Seraph. \u00a0 I was surprised to see that the winning strategy was to pick most of the fastest teams for the downhill as I thought the spread on the backhills would be larger. \u00a0I guess pushers were giving it their all across the board.<\/p>\n

Winning Real Buggy Times<\/span><\/h4>\n

Of course, we also care about real buggy around here, and once the fantasies are dealt with, it turns out SDC, Fringe, and SigEp are running pretty close and pretty darn quick for November. \u00a0Fringe had the fastest downhill at 52.4 which was a couple of seconds slower than their freeroll on raceday last year. \u00a0SDC and SigEp tied for the fastest backhills at 56.07 with Fringe a half second back. \u00a0SDC put together the fastest combination of the day, finishing in 1:49.20. \u00a0That’s almost 3 seconds slower than their win on mini-raceday last year, but this may not have gotten the full mini-raceday energy since there are still 2 weekends of rolls left if the weather holds up.<\/p>\n
