jwade10:38:47 18/04/2009I missed womens'. Anything interesting?
jwade10:39:02 18/04/2009Just saw the last two hills of Pika.
TommyK10:39:03 18/04/2009record
TXDERBY10:39:21 18/04/2009new unofficial record - 2:25.76
jwade10:39:34 18/04/2009Eh. That happens every year now.
Stratis10:39:43 18/04/2009fast times, sigep had a stud hill 4 (almost passed pika going into 5)
TommyK10:39:57 18/04/2009at least 1 case of road rash on 2
TommyK10:40:15 18/04/2009no spins or crashes
Stratis10:40:42 18/04/2009yeah i think that was pika's 2...she bounced off the pavement
alex keene10:40:54 18/04/2009nah.. SDC's
alex keene10:40:58 18/04/2009SDC A's
Stratis10:41:02 18/04/2009ah
alex keene10:41:04 18/04/2009since they were racing together
jwade10:41:05 18/04/2009Those are always more fun with sound.
TommyK10:41:07 18/04/2009worth it
jwade10:41:20 18/04/2009Watching from a cluster today, so no commentary again.
jwade10:41:26 18/04/2009Econ class will not miss me.
Stratis10:41:34 18/04/2009:)
alex keene10:41:37 18/04/2009yeah. take the faceplant for the record... though she was the H2 on the record last year too
Christian J10:42:28 18/04/2009Whoa...!
splayer10:42:33 18/04/2009neck and neck!
Stratis10:42:36 18/04/2009wayyyyy early shove
Liz S10:43:59 18/04/2009I remember when Sig Ep was just starting out with Tank. They have certainly come a long way!
Christian J10:44:02 18/04/2009KDR driver can't stay straight on the hills.
alex keene10:44:08 18/04/2009my video just dropped
Stratis10:44:16 18/04/2009wow
Stratis10:44:18 18/04/2009nice time
jwade10:44:22 18/04/2009Did KDR get the pushbar?
alex keene10:44:23 18/04/2009what they roll?
TommyK10:44:24 18/04/2009niceeeeeee
TommyK10:44:28 18/04/2009great roll

Christian J10:44:37 18/04/20092:08
Stratis10:44:37 18/04/20092:08-2:09
cmuTV-Glenn10:44:43 18/04/2009video still fine for everyone else? We are aware of the hum
alex keene10:44:44 18/04/2009nice

alex keene10:45:28 18/04/2009its back.. hung i guess
TommyK10:45:32 18/04/2009no hum here - just Alan
splayer10:45:45 18/04/2009good improvement for KDR
Stratis10:45:58 18/04/2009both did great
Stratis10:46:02 18/04/2009very impressive
jwade10:46:02 18/04/2009SigEp hill 2 looked awful. What could they have gotten with a good one?
Stratis10:46:17 18/04/2009yeah, he realized he was gonna get passed so he shoved way early
TommyK10:46:20 18/04/2009they still got a great house record
jwade10:46:32 18/04/2009Yeah, incredible development on their part.
jwade10:46:44 18/04/2009Maybe they will actually keep it up next year.
TommyK10:47:03 18/04/2009looks like they've leap frogged kdr in buggy performance
Stratis10:47:08 18/04/2009hope so, getting interesting at the top of the leaderboard
splayer10:47:37 18/04/2009very interesting
jwade10:48:11 18/04/2009It'd be great to have two more top frats.
TommyK10:48:56 18/04/2009three great independents ... spirit, sdc, fringe and three good frats ... Pika, KDR, Sig Ep
GAB joins Race talk
Christian J10:49:53 18/04/2009Of those 6... all good tech... but not as consistent pushing capabilities.
TommyK10:49:58 18/04/2009interestingly ... all the frats have rolled and now its just independents
TommyK10:50:24 18/04/2009three SDC teams in a row
jwade10:50:37 18/04/2009What's the link for the heats?
Stratis10:50:42 18/04/2009yeah thats a pretty wild swap from 3 pika teams in finals
Stratis10:50:47 18/04/2009http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pq5bCmexWUsLruYCpfZ6Jcw
alex keene10:50:50 18/04/2009heats: http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pq5bCmexWUsLruYCpfZ6Jcw
jwade10:51:07 18/04/2009thanks
TommyK10:51:35 18/04/2009spirit could have a monster time
jwade10:51:45 18/04/2009man I would hate to roll three finals heats in a row
alex keene10:51:51 18/04/2009yeah.. i'm expecting something surprising here
TommyK10:52:08 18/04/2009their pushers looked strong yesterday but looked like they had room to improve
Stratis10:52:32 18/04/2009is there a published list of the official times from yesterday? i think they were 2:09ish unofficially
Stratis10:53:34 18/04/2009haha someone's excited about the chance of a pika reroll
TommyK10:53:39 18/04/2009don't take the re-rol!!!!!
Christian J10:53:54 18/04/2009Re-roll always = the suck.
TommyK10:54:25 18/04/2009they lost a tenth at most
Christian J10:54:27 18/04/2009Any historians know if any re-roll has actually helped? And if so, any but a marginal improvement?
TXDERBY10:54:35 18/04/2009if SDC is faster why would PiKa not take a re-roll?
alex keene10:54:42 18/04/2009yeah.. i can't see pika taking this re-roll... but maybe they will... just go for the win... the rules state they can always ask for it, be given it, and then refuse
jwade10:54:42 18/04/2009Our men's C re-roll helped in 2001.
TommyK10:54:46 18/04/2009they will lose spots
Stratis10:54:51 18/04/2009they have a nice long (hour and 15 min or so, right?) break
jwade10:55:01 18/04/2009but only because it stretched raceday long enough for women's finals to be rained out.
TommyK10:55:28 18/04/2009do they have an extra set of wheels?
jwade10:55:47 18/04/2009They only had two buggies out today. They must have spares around.
alex keene10:55:50 18/04/2009im sure they have at least 1 extra
TommyK10:56:19 18/04/2009if you spend all night getting everything perfect and then have less than an hour to do it again ...
splayer10:56:39 18/04/2009cmu tv is waaaaay too excited about this re-roll
Stratis10:56:55 18/04/2009yeah, that'd be tough...but good on the pushers (fully warmed up plus warmer in the day plus knowing what time they have to get)
Liz S10:56:57 18/04/2009it is because Andy was a Pika chair.
alex keene10:57:01 18/04/2009well it is a pika alumn...
Christian J10:59:20 18/04/2009Very respectable, but I feel like they lost a lot of energy through the chute.
jwade10:59:28 18/04/2009SDC really closed in the chute
TommyK10:59:41 18/04/2009hill 2 going gimpy may have cost them on the shove
Liz S10:59:44 18/04/2009that was a terribly roll for spirit...
cmuTV-Glenn10:59:59 18/04/2009splayer - we played the replay on the back channel for the judges about 3 times before we played it on air
