hey all in SAE land...hope your preparations for the comp are going well

After the SAE event in May i am going to be travelling around a bit and am wondering if theres anyone out there who wants to meet up for a beer or two in their hometown?? (same goes for anyone after the Formula Student event)

Im travelling around the US for about a month, before heading over to the UK for the Formula Student event, continuing after that to Scotland, France, Portugal, Italy and back through Asia

Drop me an email if you think your town is worth visiting, and if i dont catch up with any of you then make sure you all stop by the Wollongong pits in Detroit and say g'day, or look out for a Wollongong shirt at FS!!

Always happy to have visitors in our shop and it is a cool place if you like car stuff. Bellingham, Washington – about 90 miles north of Seattle. Offer is always open to everyone.

I think you absolutely need to visit Firenze where the Renaissance grew and where the first engineers worked (Leonardo, Michelangelo)

If you are lucky you can also visit the Mugello Circuit

Last but not least, you can visit us, the FIRENZE RACE TEAM V2,
you are welcome (and everyone with you).

Anyway I hope to see you in Detroit and at FS.

hey Daniele
im planning on spending two weeks in italy after our formula student event and would be keen to catch up with you guys. I going to try and see as many motorsport attractions (including ducati) as possible while there, with the most important for me being the Italian Karting championships at jeselo

hey rotor, are you likely to be coming to goodwood, to watch some CARS race?

have they told you there's no speedway at goodwood??

Hi Mark,

you are welcome.

This is the Italian kart federation website, it is still under construction (no english version), if you follow the links you'll find the July races in Italy (Jesolo too).

Many regional races and two Italian championship races.

See you soon.

How are you getting back? If you aren't flying back from Detroit, that opens your options up a bit.

More than welcome to ride back to Alabama (I think it'd be OK. ) but there's no ticket back! But it is warm here, and you could fly back from Atlanta.

Auburn is cool but considering all the options you have in the US, maybe not the best one.

no speedway? I'm not going then! hehe. surely there will be some off-track action spraying dirt and grass to make feel a little at home.

yeah im not flying outta detroit afterwards, need to be in LA at the start of July
was planning on visiting some other guys around Atlanta and Augusta anyways... maybe a ride back to auburn wouldnt be so bad!!!
how long does it take to drive?? when were you planning on heading back?? would have to be after SVSU!!

I'm a guy from Auburns' team to give you an update, we will have atleast 4 people staying for the MoteC convention after the competition and it is lasts the three days following detroit. So as far as I know you could catch a ride with us, but I'll get a confirmation soon on the subject

If your travels take you to north Idaho, let me know. This area is only nice if you like fly fishing, waterskiing, or white water rafting though. Oh, then there is the inner-tubing, hiking in the mountains, beer drinking, and any water-sport you can do without an ocean.

Plus, we are on the way to see Western Washington U and U of Washington.

Sorry Handles I missed your reply back then. Catch up with me at comp, I'll be at the MoTec seminar so we might stop by the SVSUGP if we have time. Or at least have a couple beers with the competitors off-site

hey sounds good, ill definitely catch up with you guys at the comp, and the beer sounds like a good plan

make sure you stop by the Wollongong pits and say gday
