Buggies are qualified, Heats to be selected and prep is to be made for Friday this week when everyone will hit the course and compete for the trophy. Going into truck, Many teams were missing rolls or even pass tests, but everyone put the pedal to the metal and with a little help from Sweepstakes managed a staggering amount of rolls. The teams that were all missing pass tests were able to grab them on Saturday, leaving only one real past test on Sunday, but several accidental passes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lead Truck Auction is on its way:\u00a0<\/strong>For those of you who have been wondering, we are in fact doing the lead truck auction again this year.

She hit the bales hard early in the morning on her second roll after her pass test losing a wheel and really messing up her steering if the pictures are anything to believe. Since she was still down several rolls, SigEp pulled their own switcheroo and brought out Pandora on Sunday getting her a pass test and a few rolls. She rolled in the fall, so she&#8217;s up to 7 rolls in just Pandora, but she&#8217;s collected several from other buggies which puts her up to 14 total from my counts, a mere one roll away. If past precedent is to be believed, this should be no problem for the Chairmen to agree with.<\/li>\n<li><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/2012-2013\/Spring-Rolls-April-14\/i-6PktTVf\/0\/1d59a097\/Th\/SpringRolls-20130414-00094-Th.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/>During their first roll on Sunday, Pike hit the bales hard with Chimera dislodging part of her fairing into the haybales. She was out the next couple rolls, but the driver and buggy must have turned out pretty well since the safety chair gave them a\u00a0thorough\u00a0spot safety and allowed her to roll again for 2 more cycles so she could grab her final rolls before Raceday<\/li>\n<li>In a double blow to SigEp this weekend, Barracuda found the same spot Chimera did earlier that morning and Kraken the day before. The damage doesn&#8217;t seem to be as bad since the wheel didn&#8217;t pop off, but since it was already their last roll of the day, we are left to wonder what will happen to what was recorded as the fastest rolling buggy of the weekend.<\/li>\n<li><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/2012-2013\/Spring-Rolls-April-14\/i-FgmF89D\/0\/b9ddea81\/Th\/SpringRolls-20130414-00034-Th.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/>Being so low on rolls, and working with a timid Drive, Rage was droped from SDC&#8217;s roster after last weekend and the powerhouse will only be rolling 4 buggies of their attempted 5. After seeing what came out of this weekend, they probably could have gotten her qualified, but that means nothing if she doesn&#8217;t feel ready to go all out on Raceday.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<p><strong>Roll Counts<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Because I did it last year, here are the top 10 rollingest buggies for the Spring of 2013.
