Oct 06, 2005 - Team Banzai went 1 for 4 during the regular rounds to qualify for the special fifth round on the last day. We had a near perfect run in the morning and just needed to finish the afternoon run to qualify for the Finals. Unfortunately, our over-conservative driving strategy caused Dora to think she was boxed in by a single traffic cone, thus ending her run for $2 million.
Eventually, we'll post pictures and the full story (once we get over the shock and disappointment).
