I'm told it was fueling issues. Bad for lap times, good for economy!
Design Results:
1. OSU
2. RIT
3. Oklahoma
It's going to be a close one...

As in Formula R/C?
RIT repaired significant shipping damage and is ready to defend.
Good luck to all and be sure to keep us in the loop!
An aero package is a double-edged sword. When engineered AND executed well, it certainly has an undeniably positive effect on the overall performance of the vehicle as a whole, given the correct...

An old reactor??! Wow, and I thought our asbestos basement was dangerous.

I'm apparently inept at posting images so check out the link below for several images of packaging on last years car. Hope they help.

Maybe you could use xfoil.
find it here
It's free and fairly straight forward to use. I would expect you could get some rough designs computed to cross-reference with your actual cfd package.
That's going to shake things up a bit.
edit:
Apparently, RIT dropped out of endurance on the final lap due to a radiator cap failure... http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_frown.gif
This venue seems to be 100 times more accessible than FPG was. Can't wait to see some pics. Damn co-ops kept me away this year.
That's what I wanted to do! I'm tired of being involved with the projects that take years off my life (welding galvanized conduit, locking myself in a room to grind chromoly for months on end, etc)....
I like the LS1 Civic project better.
After a grueling 26 hour marathon of grinding and welding galvanized conduit (cough), we have a rolling chassis! The next 8 months will be dedicated to a phenomenal push-bar design.

Aren't there any places slightly closer? A six hour round-trip is almost as far as our road trip to get to MI!
This past winter, our project manager learned that driving a Subaru equipped with blizzaks does not make you Petter Solberg. I had the fortune of riding with him as he destroyed his car on a tree....
You could make one from scratch. It's not too hard as long as you have a good idea of what you are trying to make. You will need pretty good machining knowledge to get it perfect, though. Someone...
Drove for the first time last week, under the cover of night. Finished a month earlier than ever before, we usually have it barely done for an early May unveiling.
