well, we've been running the car for teh past two weekends, making a few minor upgrades along the way.



the car is fast, way faster than last years in accelleration. it is as quick as least year's car in the autox, and we still have yet to finish tuning it. we have also added traction control for the accelleration event.

 

a shot of us running with a little inside wheel liftoff. yea, we need to work on that one.

 

running in the rain, to get a little practice for the detroit summers...

That thing looks like fun!

 

nice, Queen's FSAE update is: We are ******* behind schedule.



Remember to look up Queen's University Formula SAE when you are at competition. Ask for Jason.



Btw my Rx7 maybe towing our car down to detroit this spring.

=)

 

just look for the cowboy hats and boots, and ask for Mike, or the only guy with a NoPistons engine. everyone gives me crap for the rotary, even though my car is one of the best handling and fastest on the team. eh, just jealous.



yeah, take your car, i always enjoy seeing RX-7s and talking rotaries. there was a nice back FD in teh lot last year. it looked hot, lots of aftermarket upgrades.



our project manager's dad owns a company called motortrike, and he is supposed to tow our car up there in a nice 18 wheel big rig. it's yellow, if we do take it. you cant miss it. if not, we will have our trailer from last year: white with a big, maroon "aTm" sign on the side.
