jwade | 10:38:47 18/04/2009 | I missed womens'. Anything interesting?
|
jwade | 10:39:02 18/04/2009 | Just saw the last two hills of Pika.
|
TommyK | 10:39:03 18/04/2009 | record
|
TXDERBY | 10:39:21 18/04/2009 | new unofficial record - 2:25.76
|
jwade | 10:39:34 18/04/2009 | Eh. That happens every year now.
|
Stratis | 10:39:43 18/04/2009 | fast times, sigep had a stud hill 4 (almost passed pika going into 5)
|
TommyK | 10:39:57 18/04/2009 | at least 1 case of road rash on 2
|
TommyK | 10:40:15 18/04/2009 | no spins or crashes
|
Stratis | 10:40:42 18/04/2009 | yeah i think that was pika's 2...she bounced off the pavement
|
alex keene | 10:40:54 18/04/2009 | nah.. SDC's
|
alex keene | 10:40:58 18/04/2009 | SDC A's
|
Stratis | 10:41:02 18/04/2009 | ah
|
alex keene | 10:41:04 18/04/2009 | since they were racing together
|
jwade | 10:41:05 18/04/2009 | Those are always more fun with sound.
|
TommyK | 10:41:07 18/04/2009 | worth it
|
jwade | 10:41:20 18/04/2009 | Watching from a cluster today, so no commentary again.
|
jwade | 10:41:26 18/04/2009 | Econ class will not miss me.
|
Stratis | 10:41:34 18/04/2009 | :)
|
alex keene | 10:41:37 18/04/2009 | yeah. take the faceplant for the record... though she was the H2 on the record last year too
|
Christian J | 10:42:28 18/04/2009 | Whoa...!
|
splayer | 10:42:33 18/04/2009 | neck and neck!
|
Stratis | 10:42:36 18/04/2009 | wayyyyy early shove
|
Liz S | 10:43:59 18/04/2009 | I remember when Sig Ep was just starting out with Tank. They have certainly come a long way!
|
Christian J | 10:44:02 18/04/2009 | KDR driver can't stay straight on the hills.
|
alex keene | 10:44:08 18/04/2009 | my video just dropped
|
Stratis | 10:44:16 18/04/2009 | wow
|
Stratis | 10:44:18 18/04/2009 | nice time
|
jwade | 10:44:22 18/04/2009 | Did KDR get the pushbar?
|
alex keene | 10:44:23 18/04/2009 | what they roll?
|
TommyK | 10:44:24 18/04/2009 | niceeeeeee
|
TommyK | 10:44:28 18/04/2009 | great roll
|
alex keene | 10:44:32 18/04/2009 | i have no video
|
Christian J | 10:44:37 18/04/2009 | 2:08
|
Stratis | 10:44:37 18/04/2009 | 2:08-2:09
|
cmuTV-Glenn | 10:44:43 18/04/2009 | video still fine for everyone else? We are aware of the hum
|
alex keene | 10:44:44 18/04/2009 | nice
|
splayer | 10:44:55 18/04/2009 | my video is good
|
Christian J | 10:44:56 18/04/2009 | Still fine here.
|
jwade | 10:44:56 18/04/2009 | video is fine here
|
TXDERBY | 10:44:58 18/04/2009 | video is still on
|
TommyK | 10:45:02 18/04/2009 | video is good in Hawaii
|
Stratis | 10:45:02 18/04/2009 | yeah video and hum both still going strong
|
Christian J | 10:45:12 18/04/2009 | Demian quit (timeout)
|
alex keene | 10:45:21 18/04/2009 | i just reloaded
|
alex keene | 10:45:28 18/04/2009 | its back.. hung i guess
|
TommyK | 10:45:32 18/04/2009 | no hum here - just Alan
|
splayer | 10:45:45 18/04/2009 | good improvement for KDR
|
Stratis | 10:45:58 18/04/2009 | both did great
|
Stratis | 10:46:02 18/04/2009 | very impressive
|
jwade | 10:46:02 18/04/2009 | SigEp hill 2 looked awful. What could they have gotten with a good one?
|
Stratis | 10:46:17 18/04/2009 | yeah, he realized he was gonna get passed so he shoved way early
|
TommyK | 10:46:20 18/04/2009 | they still got a great house record
|
jwade | 10:46:32 18/04/2009 | Yeah, incredible development on their part.
|
jwade | 10:46:44 18/04/2009 | Maybe they will actually keep it up next year.
|
TommyK | 10:47:03 18/04/2009 | looks like they've leap frogged kdr in buggy performance
|
Stratis | 10:47:08 18/04/2009 | hope so, getting interesting at the top of the leaderboard
|
splayer | 10:47:37 18/04/2009 | very interesting
|
jwade | 10:48:11 18/04/2009 | It'd be great to have two more top frats.
|
TommyK | 10:48:56 18/04/2009 | three great independents ... spirit, sdc, fringe and three good frats ... Pika, KDR, Sig Ep
|
|
GAB joins Race talk
|
Christian J | 10:49:53 18/04/2009 | Of those 6... all good tech... but not as consistent pushing capabilities.
|
TommyK | 10:49:58 18/04/2009 | interestingly ... all the frats have rolled and now its just independents
|
TommyK | 10:50:24 18/04/2009 | three SDC teams in a row
|
jwade | 10:50:37 18/04/2009 | What's the link for the heats?
|
Stratis | 10:50:42 18/04/2009 | yeah thats a pretty wild swap from 3 pika teams in finals
|
Stratis | 10:50:47 18/04/2009 | http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pq5bCmexWUsLruYCpfZ6Jcw
|
alex keene | 10:50:50 18/04/2009 | heats: http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pq5bCmexWUsLruYCpfZ6Jcw
|
jwade | 10:51:07 18/04/2009 | thanks
|
TommyK | 10:51:35 18/04/2009 | spirit could have a monster time
|
jwade | 10:51:45 18/04/2009 | man I would hate to roll three finals heats in a row
|
alex keene | 10:51:51 18/04/2009 | yeah.. i'm expecting something surprising here
|
TommyK | 10:52:08 18/04/2009 | their pushers looked strong yesterday but looked like they had room to improve
|
Stratis | 10:52:32 18/04/2009 | is there a published list of the official times from yesterday? i think they were 2:09ish unofficially
|
Stratis | 10:53:34 18/04/2009 | haha someone's excited about the chance of a pika reroll
|
TommyK | 10:53:39 18/04/2009 | don't take the re-rol!!!!!
|
Christian J | 10:53:54 18/04/2009 | Re-roll always = the suck.
|
TommyK | 10:54:25 18/04/2009 | they lost a tenth at most
|
Christian J | 10:54:27 18/04/2009 | Any historians know if any re-roll has actually helped? And if so, any but a marginal improvement?
|
TXDERBY | 10:54:35 18/04/2009 | if SDC is faster why would PiKa not take a re-roll?
|
alex keene | 10:54:42 18/04/2009 | yeah.. 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
|
jwade | 10:54:42 18/04/2009 | Our men's C re-roll helped in 2001.
|
TommyK | 10:54:46 18/04/2009 | they will lose spots
|
Stratis | 10:54:51 18/04/2009 | they have a nice long (hour and 15 min or so, right?) break
|
jwade | 10:55:01 18/04/2009 | but only because it stretched raceday long enough for women's finals to be rained out.
|
TommyK | 10:55:28 18/04/2009 | do they have an extra set of wheels?
|
jwade | 10:55:47 18/04/2009 | They only had two buggies out today. They must have spares around.
|
alex keene | 10:55:50 18/04/2009 | im sure they have at least 1 extra
|
TommyK | 10:56:19 18/04/2009 | if you spend all night getting everything perfect and then have less than an hour to do it again ...
|
splayer | 10:56:39 18/04/2009 | cmu tv is waaaaay too excited about this re-roll
|
Stratis | 10:56:55 18/04/2009 | yeah, 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 S | 10:56:57 18/04/2009 | it is because Andy was a Pika chair.
|
alex keene | 10:57:01 18/04/2009 | well it is a pika alumn...
|
Christian J | 10:59:20 18/04/2009 | Very respectable, but I feel like they lost a lot of energy through the chute.
|
jwade | 10:59:28 18/04/2009 | SDC really closed in the chute
|
TommyK | 10:59:41 18/04/2009 | hill 2 going gimpy may have cost them on the shove
|
Liz S | 10:59:44 18/04/2009 | that was a terribly roll for spirit...
|
cmuTV-Glenn | 10:59:59 18/04/2009 | splayer - we played the replay on the back channel for the judges about 3 times before we played it on air
