Also, when you realize that once class of 2018 graduates, you'll be the last remnant of that magical rookie year as a team.

When you are predicting the next year's rules before this years first invitational. Based on my rules prediction for Mousetrap, I have already been trying to control the curve that my car has. I never straightened out it's curve because of that 2019 rules prediction.
