Someone posted some stuff for sale on another forum from Miami University. I have tired to reply and had got no answer. Does anyone on here know how I can get a hold of anyone on that team. Thanks Chad

If I remember correctly, Miami of Ohio had a whole blog going around starting up a team ~3-4 years ago, maybe it was them?

If you search the forum, I bet you'd find the person here who used to be involved.

Miami of Ohio. They competed in 2007 but never since.

If you still want, I can try to get an e-mail from one of the guys from their team whom I autoX with.

You should probably be aware that those rain tires were purchased in the spring of 2007 and the slicks shown on the SCCA forum were purchased in the spring of 2008. Also, not all of the keiser wheels have a 6" backspace. Two of them have a shorter backspace (don't remember the actual number). The reason they are different is because we had an accident in the fall of 2007 and lost a wheel... ruining one of the rims in the process. The centers were reused with a cheap set of used rims we acquired from another school. We threw the rain tires on them because we didn't have the budget for two sets of wheels and didn't want to have to worry about mounting rain tires at competition.

If you need a cheap set of wheels, they'll probably get by, but you should consider the age of the rubber. If you're a new team and just need to get something built it might work well enough for you, but at least you know what you're dealing with.

[And a quick rant... It is Miami University (who competed in 2008 as well, btw)... not "Miami of Ohio". There is only one Miami University, thus the suffix is not necessary... http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif]
