Hey SigNu

[McCue]

Why aren't you rolling this year? Is it because you beat pika and decided to go out on a high note or something?

(This is what I am hearing from the current kids, that SN isn't rolling this year. They should reconsider.)

Crikey!

What are Estes and I to do with the huge sack of smokin'-zero-error-and-pika-like-its-their-job wheels?

Maybe because Sigma Nu decided to quit while they were ahead (i.e. how likely is it that Sigma Nu will have anther change to brag endlessly about passing a severely damage PiKA car?)

Guess you'll just have to snuggle up with them at night, like you do with all those 6th place trophies.

We spend much more time bragging about beating you at derby.

Funny, I don't recall seeing a Pika buggy at the derby. Nor do I recall seeing 5 pushers pushing a buggy. That place is a fun place to play around, but Pika is not trying to win a soap box derby.

Pff... we haven't won a 6th place trophy in like 3 years

It may be premature to declare that they are "not rolling" this year, however they are low on numbers, and word on the street is that they've decided to make buggy participation "optional" this year. As a former Zoo Buggy chairman, I predict that unless one of those two things changes, it will ultimately lead to "not rolling on race day." I encourage them to prove me wrong.

Andy,

Sorry, I was unclear.

I was replying to TXderby who is a part of Zero error racing, our main rival this year at derby. You may know them as the group that supplied PKA with wheels you did not use on raceday in 2009 and they guys who have helped SDC eat your lunch in the past few years.

Anyway, while I did see a few PKA brothers there (as observers) and some wheels that look similar to wheels PKA has used in the past on a car int he race, I agree that that does not constitute an effort by PKA at derby.

Oh, sorry about the confusion.

Wait, you saw active brothers there?! They should be in the basement making dust. I see I have some phone calls to make.

Hey, kick those Zoo boys in the butt and get them out there. Pare back the workload. Come on, how can Sig Nu just opt out? Isn't there a long line of alumni who will be arriving to 'encourage' them to participate?
