an F4i with special low friction coatings on all the bearing surfaces. We've successfully run an F4i without water for something like 20 minutes hard (all first second gear, short course) no problems. Somehow we have magic piston rings that don't want to fail. we've done this on 2 cars... oops.

Run/work order is up.

Aww that sucks. they put AM and FSAE running opposite. we were gonna have bobby run in AM =[. Boo

Kyle, sre you crewing for your dad at the runoffs? I will be there for Weds, Thurs and Saturday if he needs help.

Too bad about Bobby but you might appeal for a travel waiver between courses. They will be close together

I know i'll be there for the race and anthing on the weekends, but i don't know about the qualifiying sessions during the week. I'll tell him you'll be around. I know he'd appreciate the help.

Are you going to drive the saftey car again? I wanna another ride. This time i'll remember my camera. =]

ohh and I got beat by matt last weekend at the local autocross. Yeah!, for team mates getting faster! i've never been so happy to lose

No they have a "special " safety car driver for the runoffs. But any other race I would be happy to escort you around. I will check the class times. I am with Derek Butts in T2 as crew with nick. Nick needs someone to push him besides you.

The day is soon approaching!! (that doesn't even make since) Is everyone ready to go!! I am pumped up! this is gonna be fun, i can't wait.

Kyle,

I know how you feel. I am way excited! I was dreaming of Nationals last night. It's all I could think of for the past week and a half.

The '06 was still having problems with fuel tuning issues, so we decided that we are going to bring '04 and '05 instead. We know what the problem is now (oscilliscopes are amazing), but it's too late to get it going for Nationals. We have made some adjustments to '04 and '05 which you might remember had some fuel tuning issues of their own at Texas AX Weekend.

I don't know if you know any of the A-mod drivers, but Todd Bowland is fsae alumn and from what I hear he is a really good driver. If you've never been to Nationals before, you are definitely in for a show in A-mod. Also, Joe Cheng is unvailing his new A-mod car which should be a sight. I know we run opposite them, but we might still be able to see them from our side of the track!

Erick, what time are you guys getting into Topeka tomorrow? We should be there sometime around 3:30 to go through registration and tech.

Neil,

We are hoping to get there around 2-3 or so. We barely made it through registration last year when we arrived a little late. So, we are leaving a little earlier this year in hopes to accomplish this. Can't wait to see you guys and the new car!

are we all meeting up and going to dinner tomorrow?

I'm down for dinner. We should get there around 2:30-3. hopefully we can all paddock(sp) some what close to each other.

Congratulations Sooners on a great finish.

i'm just glad the wings on both cars didn't break or collapse on someone. =]

Next year I think I'll come with tires that aren't over a year old, a tire warmer, and maybe some wings.
Congrats to all the trophy winners.
See y'all next year.

Ohhh man, was Nationals an exciting nail biter event this year. That was way more intense than SAE in my opinion.

Just so people know what a tire warmer is, that is your co-driver and his runs before yours. Although, it seemed like as a second driver I sat around longer than my co-driver did before his next run. Anyone else feel that way?

That happened last year too. My co-driver barely had the minimum time that you were required to wait between my run and his. All in all, an excellent and very well organized event. 21 drivers, clearly we are headed in the right direction with Nationals and FSAE entries there. Let's keep it up and start the campaign for next year!!!!!
