I know in 2003 (and 2002 I think) University of Utah did a gear drive. They used a CBR600F?, removed the side covers, and CNC'd plates that bolted to the left and right sides of the engine. The...

Travis,
We were examining a longitudinal engine/transaxle when I visited you guys. The team has since moved towards a more standard engine placement with a geardrive. The shearing bolts bit was...
Has anyone else seen this?
Polaris Outlaw
First sport quad with IRS. I saw it in a magazine and thought, "500cc single, 5 speed trans (with reverse!), spool with sprocket and disc, rear...

The new Stohr just smoked the SCCA Runoffs this weekend. Mark Jaremko from Spokane, WA is pretty much Lee Stohr's "works" driver, and apparently destroyed the rest of the field. The race broadcast...
I don't understand Williams' problem at all. The Speed Channel commentators were blaming their slowness on poor downforce levels compared to the rest of the field (I seem to remember someone at...
That's all you guys got? (Thanks Ricky and Jason). I imagined some Ferrari bashing including some "they deserved it," and maybe some "Go McLaren" or "BAR rocks" from the Brits. Perhaps a hurrah for...
Greetings everyone,
I've been dying to BS with a fellow F1 fan about the season so far, but I haven't found any fellow fans in my new town. Thus, I thought I might share some random thoughts with...

Greetings,
I was searching the SAE store for chassis design pubs and ran across this:

Hey all,
I just wanted to thank James and Travis and the whole WWU crew for letting me crawl all over their shop and drool on the Viking 30 (and the 35). I had a great time. Also a big thanks to...

I'll add my congrats as well, and hope to see the ol' girl in person in a couple weeks. I imagine ya'll are in good company, as CU prolly rolled their new monster out today (if they're on schedule)....
I'm with Kevin on this one. Check out the website, it's a mindblower. And I thought I read somewhere that race weight for the Viking 30 was 420 lbs, which is pretty damn good for a just-under-600...
Hey James, I'll be in the western Washington area the weekend of Valentine's Day pending approval from my employer. I'll shoot you an e-mail when I find out for sure.
Just to play devil's...
In response to Buh-weet (nice!), both our 2001 and 2003 cars were manually shifted with good old-fashioned linkages and driven a fair amount by yours truly. The only time I used the clutch was on...
Mitch,
You are correct. Siamesed engine blocks have no coolant passages between the cylinders; this is usually done in custom race blocks which have huge bores to ensure cylinder integrity. I...
Just wanted to add my $.02 regarding the rod ends in bending issue. We designed for 1/4" rod ends everywhere last year, and I managed to bend the outboard fronts after doing some braking tests. We...
Hmmmmm... I had a burning feeling that I had seen Chalmers' car before. Then I remembered why it was so familiar:

Hey folks,
I'm glad to hear you guys are still chugging along, and that the board "dying" was due to technical problems, not a lazy team. Heh. I will be back in Moscow from about December 1 to...
Goofballs! It's good to see you guys posting again, BAD to hear about repeat Kibbie Dome parking lot oilings. Good luck and be safe, people, and I hope to see your progress in December sometime.
...
I don't have a solid model, but I will bump your request to the top again, Sam. Talk to you guys in a little while; maybe ya'll can update your website or post on the private forums once in...
I'm leaving Montana today to head to Florida. Good luck this year, and I'll be in contact again in a couple of months or so. Kick some ass and break some stuff (safely)!
