UTA will be hosting the 10th annual "Texas Autocross Weekend" on 9 through 11 July 2010. The original intent was for Texas and Oklahoma schools to get together, but it has grown to a national event with schools from Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Kansas, Ohio, Canada, Alabama, South Dakota, Florida, Michigan, etc. joining us for a weekend of pure FSAE. This is a time to let your hair down and share secrets and drive each other’s cars.
The venue is an open house Friday afternoon at the UTA shop to view our fleet of 20 cars and to do any last minute repairs. Friday night we will have a social at my house to view videos and play games. Saturday will be a competition at UTA's big lot with a FSAE course in the morning and a SCCA-style course in the afternoon. Texas-style BBQ will be served at lunch. Saturday night will be another event sponsored by Texas Engineering Systems to hear about features of SolidWorks and Cosmos. On Sunday, we will attend the Equipe Rapide monthly autocross held at Pennington Field on their concrete parking lot.
Saturday's driving is open to anyone and will be timed by our local autocross club Equipe Rapide. ER will allow 3 or 4 drivers per car on Sunday.
In the past we have had over 10 schools represented, more than 20 FSAE cars, and over 100 students attend the event. Local spectators and sponsors attend. Some schools attend without cars just to learn.
Please e-mail me directly if you intend to attend. We will handle all details of registration through our own e-mail list.

We should have our '10 car, possibly our '09 car, and almost without a doubt our '07 car (it took us three years, but by now we have it almost as reliable as most of my daily drivers 
)
