Running a start-up FSAE team was as much of a political exercise as it was an engineering challenge. If you are aiming to run the program, recruit two or three good guys that have primary...

Oh, god, that rear shock mount... oh god...
This isn't a valid response if you're trying to motivate someone.

I don't think that was meant to be taken personally or as an insult, they were just observations based on personal experiences. As always, your mileage may vary.

Spencer, I agree that is quite a bit of bad luck, but at the end of the day, it's just bad luck.
Does anyone know how many times an incident like this has occured in the past? It will take some...
Might I request some #FSAE hashtag usage for everyone tweeting?
Rich Mahogany. Duh.
The 2696's are a pain in the rear as well. I just said screw it and paid the man.

1. Buy-in. Why would you bust your ass on a project you don't have control over? Anyone who's done this will...
Foiled by the spambot... haha.
If Purdue would like to host again, I would not get in the way of it, but based on my talks with people here and there, nothing has been laid down yet. That said, what nick suggested about the SCCA...
I would like to see another Big Ten Shootout this year, we did this last year and it was a blast, even with only a few cars. I know Northwestern will be in.
