Well call me dipped, you're absolutely right. I searched for 2013 Endurance and that was the one that came up first.
Apologies all around!
Hey everybody,
I was getting down to business analyzing our performance in the endurance event, comparing our times with Auburn's and UW's and I happened to notice something interesting. At some...
Actually, this works out. For the self-machined parts you'd have an invoice for the raw materials and the processing cost could be discounted/ignored if done in-house. This is good because it...
As far as the cost report goes, I'd like to see actual reporting, not some "invented" number. Actual invoices for purchased parts, if supplied parts are donated, then the claimed tax-deduction from...
Ok, fun times were had, but I have two gripes, well, three.
1. The faster cars in the autocross should run first in the endurance. If they're going to make any attempt to "normalize" scores,...
Pretty happy with how we're doing so far. Track looks fast, braking zones look good, but some of those gaps in the concrete are pretty rough.
Thanks you for the replies folks. I expect we'll be doing the same.
We're running ours to the side because the muffler would stick out too far from the rear if we went the other direction. Also, you can balance the weight by sticking an oil cooler in the other...
To this I'll add that there are export rules for some materials, so a link to a US site with honeycomb won't help if you're building a car in Cuba.
Tough statement. OK, take a look at Montoya, or Jimmy Vasser, they fulfill your theory exactly http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif
But on the other hand, how dumb must have been...
Do we need to lock up fresh tires, or can we use older ones? I despise the idea of flatspotting a brand spanking new set of rubbers.
Helmet and belts are dated, so that should be easy. Fire suits can be used as long as you NEVER get any fluids on them, i.e., oil, gas (obviously), etc. That also means washing them. Surfactants...
Our experience is that pneumatic systems leak like a sieve, so for sizing, I'd say three times what you'd expect to use.
We use hook and loop. Seems to work.
We have a massive shop at our disposal, with increasing hours as the deadline looms larger. We have a 2-man rule, and generally one of those people is a TA (employed by the school as a supervisor). ...

Account for leaks. Our air shifters never worked right, always leaked, and we often ran out of air after short periods of testing.
My 0.02, I don't like them.
That rear tire sure didn't cool off any. Looks like after a few laps you'd be getting into some possible blistering problems.
+1. Our CFRP intake imploded during noise in Lincoln last year. 0/10 would not recommend, add the extra 1mm. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
I imagine the ingestion of foreign materials didn't bode well for...
I'm a big believer in "simple is better," however, I think a nice little screen wouldn't be too hard to do, might even look nice.
I however, like a tach and a start button, and that's it. ...
Do points scored here transfer to team points at competition?

I looked back and found that it was called the Purdue Grand Prix.
My dad and his team built a composite car in the mid-50's at Purdue's "Mini Indy."
It wasn't a tub, it was sectioned fiberglass-like square tubing, epoxied like a tube-frame.
From stories from...
We use un-normalized moly because we like excitement.
