I noticed there was no official competition thread for Formula North, so here it is!
Kettering and USF practiced at Tony's I-75 Restaurant in Birch Run, MI with a heaping plate of poutine Sunday night. The cars are running pretty well too. It's been a blast hosting them in our shop.
Does everyone have their 20L jerricans ready?

Once again, Kettering forum users occupy almost half of the regsitered users logged on the week before competition. Weather is looking awesome for the upcoming days, as it has been around here the past 2 weeks. Good luck to all who will be attending North.

Anyone know why Maryland pulled out? I was hoping to see what that car can do.

It's an engineering competition, not an over-engineering competition!
Let me guess. Something like "well the aero and suspension are done and the cars gonna be a rocket, but that darn powertrain keeps overheating/blowing up/wont run". Its always powertrain isn't it?
Well we may become the first team to make Detroit and miss Lincoln. No seriously, we've got issues. See you there ; )

Well we could both find a really big hill and push our cars down that....
Or maybe just a god damn cliff.
