Hey DanG did you make it out? Ive been looking all over for you.

[Mikko Ahola]

Unofficial overall before autocross and endurance:

1. Delft
2. TU Graz
3. Helsinki
4. UWA

Then if I remember right it was Cornell and RMIT...

But will be changing a bit after AutoX... Delft is going strong! Good luck to all for the endurance!

Tim, yea I'm here. I was out in the dynamic area all day. 8 gigs worth of pics, I'll try to find a few good ones. Upload them soon.

...I think their ability to joke around with each other kinda show what type of car you can produced when you have teamwork...

Ya, and a $500000 yearly budget. That's the number I've gotten from one of my pretty plugged in sources. I'm just glad to see that they really live up to the hype. Their cars are pretty f'n rad!

don't forget our privat learjets and the trucks all over the world!!
Sorry, I've to say that, but "$500000 yearly budget" is absolutley nonsense!! </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Then there are some people in high up places spreading rumors about you. That'd be ~350k EURO's if you're wondering, which is the original number I heard. Care to share the real numbers if my source is off? I know I'm interested.

Very unofficial rankings so far (taking numbers from the Graz site http://racing.tugraz.at/de/home/usa-...chterstattung/ )
Also remember that DUT, Graz, Helsinki and ETS are in design finals so they don't have a design score yet:

1. Joanneum Racing Graz 519
2. UWA 507
3. RIT 492
4. Missouri UST 490
5. TUFast 485
6. Rennteam Stuttgart 481
7. RMIT 478
8. Wisconsin 477
9. Saginaw 473
10. Toronto 460

keep in mind there is TU Delft, TU Graz, ETS and Helsinki who should get 130+ so putting that in there we have Graz with 485-505, Delft with 529-549, Helsinki with 480-500 and ETS with 445-465.

Again, these are extremely unofficial, I just added up the scores from the Graz website and I've probably made quite a few mistakes so please check them and correct me.
