The team is very excited about the victory, and we are already looking forward to competing at Nationals in just a few weeks. It should be a great chance for our team to show the rest of the country all the talent that is on our team! I think we all have high expectations for ourselves. We know we should be able to put up a pretty good fight!


Aside from the racing, we enjoyed attending the annual "MCSA banquet and award ceremony" on Saturday with the other teams. The girls' team dressed in an "animal" theme, while Jeff Stamp went as a "red man," Max Lund looked a bit like a high school tool, and the three freshmen went as some kind of Mexican brigade (to give you an idea of costumes). It was an eventful, entertaining event...as usual.
