Anyone here yet?
I'm flying in tomorrow morning. Looking forward to some concrete, warm weather, and a real practice track.

Glad to see UTA back with a combustion car! As long as the plug-and-play relationship between the YFZ450X/R engine and the PE-3 continues, that engine could soon become the new CBR600 of FSAE.

Let's get those thursday tweets rolling!

UPDATES?!

[Jolleyman]

I'm curious if more seasoned participants can enlighten me on when/where results are posted during the competition. We're a first year team and are anxious to see how we did in the Static events today.

Thanks in advance for any advice/recommendations.

Texas A&M, UTA, U Washington, Kansas, McGill, Missouri S&T, Michigan State, and one other I did not quite catch among the screams of excitement in our pits.

That may be wrong, but that's my best guess of what they said. Apologies to those that I missed.

RIT had a front control arm/monocoque failure, so I've not seen much of them.

There may be weather on Saturday, we'll see. The courses are slightly adjusted from the PDF, so that's awesome for the teams that optimized around the course map.

We have a few pics up of some cars, Ill have more later but I believe the guys want to edit them. Course for auto-x tomorrow looks promising!

Missouri S&T DOMINATED autocross by a second over the next car. RIT got their car fixed and ran just in time, getting 3rd in autocross. A&M got 5th, the fastest non-wing car, but trailing around 3 seconds behind S&T.

Kansas and S&T look close so far for the lead. We'll see how design finals and endurance/fuel are scored to settle it out.


Also, it is currently raining like crazy for the start of endurance. We'll see how long it lasts.
