Thread: Formula SAE Michigan 2011 Competition: - Updates, Pictures, Stories, and More

  1. #1
    Weather in Brooklyn, MI this week looks to put the highs around 75*F, lows around 55*F, chance of thunderstorms Wednesday and Thursday.

    Last push for some, get those trailers loaded and let us know what is happening! Can't wait to see updates on another great competition at MIS!

    Just about there for early registration with the University of Central Florida, in Ohio now ready to get out of these mini vans and into a proper bed tonight.

    (New Dodge mini van got 34mpg @ 65mph for an entire tank drafting the Penske, still slower than the new KIAs though.)

    Spoke with my teammates with Global Formula Racing not long ago, and they seem pretty relaxed -- seeing our 2010 car on the FSAE Michigan shirts was a boost.

    Good advice and everyone should get plenty of rest too. But please don't incorrectly imply that the tragedy you linked to was the result of improper procedure, because it wasn't. And it's not fair to the team to imply as such.

    Hope everyone arrives safe to FSAE-MI, and we have another great competition.
    mmmm..... Garlic.
