They came this summer to film the baja crew who won the 3 SAE competition. The monster garage are the one who ask them if they could film their baja. I didnt know that they also filmed the fsae. I guess it was the fsae04 cause the 05 was still in a crate coming back from England. And by the way, how long was our appareance.

they didn't show FSAE from what i saw. it was a good 5-10 minutes on the baja car though. they had you guys race your 04 and 05 vehicles.

Anyone know what the name of the specific show was? I'd like to try and catch it if it comes on again.

i think it'd be cool to see an fsae-style build on monster garage. IIRC, west coast choppers has sponsored long beach state in the past, and the whole show is produced in southern california (i actually used to know a neighbor of the producer, and he almost bought my car to make a wood chipper early in the show)...put all these top notch fabricators and stuff to work, start with like suspension pieces and an engine and have them fab up the frame and such, then race it against one of our cars...

It was on discovery last night. I hardly ever watched monster garage, but they were gonna show a cool looking mechanical dolphin, so i figured, i'd stick around. And whadayaknow ... saw two ETS guys dancing silly at the end of the show (are they for real?! http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif )

it should be on again this w/end. I think you can browse thru their website and find out the timing.

Mike,
You need to download the Divx codec to watch that movie.

Go back out to Off Topic and find the discussion you started a while ago looking for this video. The link I sent you to looks like it has all of the same stuff as the one Dan linked to – with one exception: the link I had also has a Read Me file that explains the codec.

I just saw the video of the baja at backyard monster. I didnt know that they had the long horn on the 05 baja. I dont know if it could past the safety inspection. http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif
