Restricted or unrestricted???

but I'm pretty sure the accel event was just paced off instead of actually measured. Someone from MSU was very upset about that.

Definitely remember that car, very fast. Also, very non-restricted at the Goodyear shootout. Man, I can still see the roster tails coming off that car on that super dusty track!

That event was a blast! Even though our car probably took the 'ugly as f@ck' award.

Oh, it's unrestricted. I believe the motor is a stock F2.

Even unrestricted the thing weighs a ton, but a few extra ponies helps i'm sure. I wouldn't call it an ugly car either, very nice body work, heavy but nice.

At Italy this year it was really hot at accel day and the asphalt was extremely sticky, but I think it also was slightly downhill.

You are right: there was an altidude difference of about .4 m in the acceleration in Varano.

what about most finished endurances in a row?

Toronto had a good run for that by our standard I think...from 2005 UK to 2008 Germany, with 2 events per season.

I thought the FSAE Holy Grail was a sweet job after graduation.

Are you sure it was the right length? We had a pretty fast time of 3.79 s, but if I remember correctly, the final velocity was much smaller than normally. Further, I thought there was too much wheel spin for "extremely sticky", but maybe that feeling is from not having the rear wheel speed sensors connected and thus no TC.
