Is that this year's car for Detroit? If so then I am way impressed

[gug]

nah, thats for dec '03 (fsae-australasia). wait until you see the wings that go on it!

- if it isnt coming, you need a bigger tool.

What's the doohicky behind the front-left tire? Tire temp sensors?

Heh, I noticed that too. Not a very good place for keeping rocks off the sensors, but it is quite discreet http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Congrats on testing so soon, you are definitely ahead of the curve.

Thats right Denny and Charlie, well spotted. There is also a rear rack but part of it was taken off because it was scrapping due to the lack of rollbars.

I personally know of at least 5 (or a third of) Australian teams that are logging tyre pyros this year, among other things. How does that compare with the states, I saw photos of Kettering with a rack.

Stones aren't a problem if you design it right.

nice place for testing, those echos make the car sound awesome.

- the problem with the world is stupidity. i'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety lables off of everything and let the problem solve itself?
