SVSU Grand Prix a Success!

All,

The Grand Prix went great. Hopefully there will be more teams that enter next year.

SVSU, Guelph, Carleton, Washington, Wollongong, Akron, and Wisconsin-Madison participated.

Wollongong took 1st place.
Wisconsin-Madison took 2nd place.

I will have times and the elimination bracket posted soon.

Thanks for a great event.

Congrats to UoW. We need photos from the event!

Darn electrical gremlins... at least they didn't show up until after Pontiac.

Thanks to Andy, Brooks and all the SVSU guys for putting on such a good event.
On the Monday there was a qualifying dual between Wisc and Wash, unfortunately we turned up late and only got a handful of laps but still ended up with a good time.

Our race with Washington would have been really good but they seemed to stall on the line and then the car didn't appear to have much power from then on. Akron and Wisc had a really good 20 lap dual only gaining a second or two in that time. In the final we caught Wisc after about 10 laps or so from memory.

I hope more teams go next year, it was fun and there is so much less pressure than in the main comp. There should be more of these competitions.
