Registration for the FSAE West event is open. The cap limit is 80 cars. On November 2, 2006, if spots are still available they will be open to all teams for registration.
what is the exact meaning of this statement..any restriction for 1st year team??

Basically, you can register for either of the two US FSAE competitions, either FSAE (Detroit) or FSAE West. After Nov 2, if spots are still available, you can register for a 2nd US event. So, come Nov 2, if there are still spots available for the West event and you are already registered for the event in Detroit, you can also register for West.

Top finishers get a reserved number as recognition of their hard work. Teams with reserved numbers get early registration so that if one of them should decided not to attend the competition, their number is free for use in general registration. I'll acknowledge that SAE could simply permanently reserve the number whether the finishing team decides to show to the competition or not. i.e. If Texas A&M decided not to go to FSAE West, there would be no Car #1 at FSAE West.

Anyway, after some phone tag, the University of Washington is registered for Formula SAE West as car #4....my regards to UMR for the trophy, btw.


Uh no, that is not how it works at all. The top 10 numbers are reserved based on last years finish, and those teams can register early to get them. Those numbers aren't released to the masses at open registration. The other 15 spots are reserved for the other competitions, and those numbers would be released but who cars who is car number 11-25, 1-10 is the ticket. More importantly though is that 25 spots could be preregistered out of 130, thus making it more difficult for other teams to join. 19 minutes isn't a lot of time for registration to fill, and since there is no other way to do it, first come first served should be the rule. The number is theirs if they can fight like everybody else to register. Just my thoughts...

So who were the thirteen lucky teams that filled out the West roster this morning? I'm too lazy to compare the entry lists.

Ugh. I was ready to sign up on November 2nd for West. Then I realized the date had changed to today. And I didn't remember registration had reopened until the team leader asked me this afternoon if I signed up for West. D'oh!

I was actually suprised that more big name schools didn't sign up for west this year...

Either way it is going to be a great event.

There's a better solution to the registration process, but I haven't thought of it yet. When it comes down to it, not having enough entry spots is a good problem to have, especially when there's still room for plenty of new teams. I suspect the west event will have even better volunteer support this year, and they'll be able to open it up to more entrants next year. The venue could CERTAINLY support the extra teams.

We made it, I think KU made it too.

Kyle, I'm not making the mistake of not going again this year, we're going to have some fun out there.

I think we should have throw some big parties before comp or after. I assume most people are flying out there and I'm planning on spending a few extra days out there.

yeah charlie, i dont think you ever talked about what you do at Honda? im sure everybody would love to know what it's like to get a real racing job.

I think someone should get a new thread for alumni to write about their experience in the 'real world'

Looks like HPD to me.

Are you doing IRL or Acura LMP?
