Drew,
The lady shown in the picture of the KU car is not Mrs. Royce, it is Barbara Steenken, a long time SCCA member, who has worked Tech at the Michigan event for many, many years. Mrs. Royce and I are watching the event from home, having just got back from Formula Hybrid and Formula Hybrid at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. We will be seeing some of the teams at Formula Student in the UK in July.

All the best to all the teams and stay safe.
