We were interested in seeing what other teams trailers are like and their features. All photos would be awesome.

Any other things that your team has (wind tunnels, workshop facilities, etc) it would be great to have a bit of an insight as to what other teams have available.

This is a chance for everyone to show off a little.

Do you want a picture of the trailer that got towed last November, or the one that got stolen two weeks ago?

Pictures of our facilities are on our web page. link below.

we only have one wind tunnel running right now, so I'll wait until the other one is back up before I post pics

This is our high-tech racecar transportation rig. It has the capability to transport up to two racecars and 3 people with support equiptment and comes complete with a leaky left rear tire, suspect trailer brake master cylinder, nearly non-existent rear brake setup, peeling paint, dents, and custom sticker kit. Careful not to drool on your keyboard...

Trailer probably outweighs the car 10:1

here's our shop, minus the machine tools in our fab. lab.

as far as our trailer, i have some spectacular pics of it burried up to the axels in mud. the best part is the tag line above our university crest says "leading on, and OFF the road". i'll see if i can find them and post them...

Sadly we do not have a nice trailer like the ones previously posted. On the weekends we throw the car onto a self made trailer similar to what the University of Kentucky posted as their back up, but ours is even less impressive.

We do however get a big Penske truck for the trip to comp.

It's technically not our trailer, but we're the only club that uses it. The truck's a rental though.

It's manufacturing lab in our engineering building, so it gets locked up after 5 but luckly we have the key.

Theres a large sliding glass door that you cant see from the picture at the bottom frame. Then we just push it through the hall and out the loading dock. We can also fit it through the side doors but it requires a little muscling around.

holy shit, or shop is probably 15x20' in the fuckin basement of the engineering building, and the only way to get in it is with an elevator....not one big enough for an aseembled fsae car or baja car either! Suspension arms must all come off, and the frame can only be so long.....
