when most people head back to college that means the end of their race season, when I get back i drive more!!
Had an awesome weekend of autocross this weekend driving the fsae car. The thing is completely foreign when compared to driving my fwd civic, but it certainly is a rush.
Just wanted to say give a shout out to all the other FSAE guys on the board and to see how you all are coming along

Cornell FSAE

 

Helping with the Lehigh car as I speak (I'm graduated but can't get away)

We've been keeping our '03 car (my baby )busy

 

you doing a masters there?

 

hey hey.

We're working on 3 cars right now. One we're polishing up to go to austrailia. One is supposed to be a track bitch, and then we're putting together next year's car.

It sucks, cause we don't really drive a whole lot, especially if you're not a driver. It's ok though, cause I mostly just want to work on the car. I just auto-x my own car.

GA Tech motorsports.

 

Alas, it will be without Carrol Smith

 

NCSU, i was on the team freshman year, now a junior, and our squad was SLOW with things. so i quit. too much school to deal with

 

i hang out with the guys that build the cal poly pomona FSAE car.

they've been have problems this year, but it's still running fairly well.

 

Working with Titanium making some cone shaped retainers for the Penn State SAE car

 

All hail Cornell SAE! Is that your 04 car in the above pic??
Clemson FSAE member here. We have been touching up 2 previous cars so we have something for driver training. We have pretty much all of the car designed in Solidworks and are going to begin fabrication of the chassis next week. Again, I know this all sounds like a joke compared to Cornell but yea...

 

Pics of our 03 car:

 

I was happy to see in the latest GRM that my alma mater's FSAE cars still haul ***. Univesity of Texas at Arlington. They are pictured in the SCCA Nationals' coverage. We used to do quite well in the FSAE competition back when I was still attending the school (89 to 94). Made me want to change major...

 

University of Michigan's 04 car is off to a good start. I won't be able to drive it, and I'm still trying to balance school and shop work (suspension team), but this first semester is a lot of fun (frustrating too)...

BTW if everyone could e-mail all of their secrets, tricks, and breakthrough designs, that would be great.

yeah ill be sure to get right on tht

that is 03's car out for driver training and datalogging

 

while at University of Missouri-Columbia (Mizzou) I was on their FSAE team, then i transfered to University of Missouri-St. Louis, and sadly they have no FSAE team.

 

Cornell FSAE? A friend of mine from high school was big into FSAE at Cornell a few years ago (95-98 I think). His name is Bill Riley. I was always jealous.

 

****. i want to go back and earn a masters degree so i can work with a team.

i should've bailed and transferred when i learned about FSAE.

 

well i guess the "bright side" is that you'll won't be spoiled by the 2.0g+ turning capabilities of a formula car, which apparently renders driving regular cars completely and utterly pointless and boring.

 

I wouldn't call it boring, but driving a Formula car with the power to weight ratio of a dodge viper and REAL racing slicks is a whole other world

 

hey, that's the GT car in the second pic.

Yep, those guys kicked butt in Topeka this year! Very entertaining, as were all the FSAE teams. I wish I had gotten into that when I was in college.
