    On Wednesday December 7th and Thursday December 8th, the SAE's Motorsports Engineering Activity is holding its third Safety & Technical Conference in conjunction with the International Motorsports Industry Show (IMIS) at the Indiana Convention Center. There is a significant fee, so although students are more than welcome, it is likely a little expensive for them.

    However, on the Thursday night, December 8th, along with the SAE Indiana Section, we are having Gordon Kirby talk about his upcoming book on Newman-Haas Racing, and Pete Hylton of IUPUI talk about his book, Ghost Tracks. This evening session is at no charge. Members of the SAE Indiana Section will be present and will welcome receiving resumes. Many companies in the area, including Cummins Engine Co., are looking to hire engineering graduates.

    You can also bring resumes to the Collegiate Roadshow on Saturday, December 10th. And we will make sure they get passed along.

    Is it going to be possible to tune into this online or is it at show only?
    Any views or opinions expressed by me may in no way reflect those of Stewart-Haas Racing, Kettering University, or their employees, students, administrators or sponsors.

    Sorry everybody, we will not be having this on-line. It has been hard enough to get this up and running along with helping organize the Safety and Technical Conference on Wednesday 7th and Thursday 8th.

    If we have enough participation this year, we will consider doing it again in 2012. At that point we would think again about covering it on-line too.

    Haven't signed up yet, but myself and a bunch of my team members will be attending, looking forward to it.
    I think some of our Baja guys are going to come as well.

    Afterwards, we are going to go karting at Fast Times. I encourage other teams to join us. So that we can beat you. Because we will be faster than you.

    A note to all those that are coming to the Roadshow tomorrow, Saturday.

    We will be in Room 236. Look for the IMIS signs and the Hoosier Corridor, and take the escalator from near the IMIS Registration booth up to the second floor. Do NOT stop off at the IMIS Registration desk, as we will be doing our registration and checks outside Room 236.

    If you have not already signed up but would like to come, we can accommodate you. It will juts cost you $5 more.

    We have finally got all the Collegiate Roadshow presentations from IMIS in December up onto the SAE’s Collegiate Design Series web site at:
    h t t p://students.sae.org/competitions/formulaseries/roadshow.htm

    The six from December are:
    • “Getting through Tech Inspection”
    • “Data Acquisition” by Frank Whiton
    • “Suspension Tuning and Development” by Steve Lyman
    • “Safety”
    • “Engine Calibration 101” by Kim Lyon, and
    • “ECU’s and Engine Calibration 201” by Jeff Krummen.

    Where the subject matter was a repeat of topics covered in the 2006 Roadshows, the older ones have been replaced. Butt we Kaley has left others from 2006 on the web site.
