Well, frankly I am surprised to be the first one opening this topic. Especially considering I am a month late.

As read in other areas about SCCA Nationals this year, it was quite an exciting event. The provisional FSAE class was well represented with 14 drivers. Notably, that is more than A-mod had driving this year (our former class).

UTA brought five drivers and two cars ('03 and '01), with a team alumn driving the '95 car.

Our Ladies' class driver put on a great show, driving faster than the A-mod ladies' winner.

In the open class, five of the first six positions went to UTA cars.

1) Ken Hassler UTA '03
2) Erick Kohler UTA '03
3) Dr. Bob Woods UTA '01
4) Denny Tremble WU '03
5) John Burford UTA '95
6) Jon Huddleston UTA '01

Another side note is that the UTA '03 car was the fourth fastest car at Nationals, with g-analyst readings over 2 g's. Needless to say, many competitors at SCCA are quite impressed with the level of racecars coming out of Formula SAE.

Let's do these cars justice and bring them to SCCA Nationals in 2004. With 140 of these cars being built each year, we could easily have the largest class at Nationals.

That's Trimble, UW http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif And while we're tooting horns, I managed 2nd on the 2nd day, after being destroyed on the first day, and yes, beaten by a girl.

Have you looked here?

I had a blast, and I hope I'm in a position to come back next year. This is the real-deal competition, and it would be great to see more FSAE cars out there next year.

Sorry about that Denny. Yes, you were quite fast the second day, and very quick overall. Something about hearing about your racecar up on two wheels due to wind gusts doesn't exactly make you comfortable before driving!! But hey, that's racing right! http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

But given that there were no wind, and no bicycle event prior, I think I would certainly have been much faster the second day!!
