oh, and is it possible to imbed images at all like you could with the old board?

I think that is Kettering University.

I believe that this picture was taken by someone from my team last year. There is a little story behind it that I thought I should share. We came from Australia to Detroit a week before the competition and desperately needed a place to test after having shipped out car via sea freight. The boys at Kettering University, after reading one of our newsletters and hearing about our predicament, got in touch with me and told us about this huge church parking lot where they tested. But they didn't stop there. They also went out of there way, while getting their own car prepared, to take us to the lot in person. They let us use hundreds of their cones to set up a course for testing too. Without their help, our car would not have been as well setup as it was last year.

Thought I would share that story with y'all.

The spirit of FSAE in true form. Way to go Kettering and all the other unsung heroes who share their space, time, tools, knowledge, experience, support, blood, sweat and tears with other teams!

Seems to me they didn't test during comp.....but in the week before comp.....not to be bitchin back, but read more carefully. The Gong is a classy bunch, and I wouldn't want to accuse them of doing something stupid.

Wollongong was using our test site the Monday and Tuesday before competition. So it was definitely before and not during competition.

We thought it would be a good way to help out an international team since we knew from Formula Student how difficult it can be at times. Plus, we thought it would be a chance to see their car up close but it turns out we were so busy the only thing we gathered was that it was really small and really quiet.

The kettering guys have let us use their testing car park in 03 and 04. It has been a great help and they are a really nice bunch of guys who have gone out of there way to help us. It has been hugely appreciated by our team.
