This is going to be awesome, and a great opportunity for VA Tech students, as well as a chance for local race teams to further develop thier programs.

yeah, the VIPER program is a new joint thing between us (ODU) and VaTech. We bring the Langley windtunnel and they bring in the rig.

our scales are borrowed from someone who works at the windtunnel...and what's a height gauge? http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

well our mill and lathe are so badly out of tolerance we don't even consider using them...as for drill presses our small one works fine. Our big one has a ghetto switch
(of whatever implement can be found) that likes to ocassionally remind you that it runs on electricity http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

I hope to visit the facility once its complete with one of our pro cars, should be a nice place to do some developments.
