First, a disclaimer: I am not part of the organizing or operation team for the Pitt Shootout. I am a motorsports and industry professional who is a big supporter of the FSAE and related competitions, and a fan as well.

Even if you cannot make it as a member of a competing team, i encourage any and everyone to attend. It is a much less stressful event, and as an observer or volunteer you will see the competition from a different, and certainly more enjoyable perspective.
