Anybody have notes or video of the design review?

Looking at the videos it looks like the courses were fast and slow, but not much in the middle. Props to the course designer for putting up many many pointer cones. In that open lot it would be hard to navigate otherwise.

Looks like S&T smoked autocross on those 13"s http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

What is the overall impressions of new West (mid-West) vs Old Cali West?

we're not complaining....4 hour drive vs the 30 http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif


But really, it was a great venue. Nobody on our team had any problems whatsoever with the track. Static events were in a good location. The only real thing that we wish they would have done different is put the autox/enduro closer to the paddocks (we're being picky here alright?!) And there were the typical growing pains with training in new personnel, etc.

All in all, I heard a lot of positive feedback from it.

Results posted.

I like the addition of the "team information" page at the end of the results. Bravo to the officials for that.

Great event...Hats off to the SAE.

I really liked the event location, seemed like there was a lot more stuff around the area then Fontana. The actual paddock was nice and the pushes weren't really too bad. The practice track was a great addition.

Would love to see padock power as all the generators were annoying, but other than that it was a great experience.

Looking forward to next year.

This was the best FSAE competition I have attended, the practice track was great. For future years it would be good to see the tech inspections proceed a bit quicker, getting through 32 teams on the first day can really make competition hectic.

Im looking forward to future events at Lincoln.
