Regrettably, 2 days before the Workshop, we had a big snow storm in SE Michigan and had to cancel the Workshop. We tried to find an alternative date but have been unsuccessful. So, Roxanne Loeffler...
I know the rules changes for FSAE and FH for 2018 were not, in some people's opinion, very significant. However, there were a couple that are safety related and the tech inspectors/scrutineers will...

This dimension is the same for FSAE (Fig. 2 of FSAE...
