UBC slush series AUTOX

Here are various pictures and videos from The UBC Slush series autox events. THe car i am driving is a 95 3.4L v6 Camaro, I am classed in STX because of a different intake, which puts me in a huge disadvantage because I dont have any suspension upgrades, which everyone else in my class has. Well, enjoy these videos and pics.

this was my first time autoxing

Nice looking event. Are you enrolled at UBC? University British Columbia used to make some pretty good Formula SAE cars. Were there any at the event this year?

Very cool!
I was on Michigan State University's FSAE team for 1994 and 1995 and had some of my most fun with the UBC team. Formula SAE cars have changed quite a bit since those early days: We were experimenting with carbon fiber monococque construction, CVT transmissions, turbos, EFI, and unobtanium. Lots and lots of effort on trying to come up with some new whiz-bang or killer powertrain and not enough on cost containment or weight savings.

I hope your car does well this year: I sometimes think that maybe I ought to re-create my own FSAE chassis just for fun, though this time I'd base it on something like a Hyabusa engine since I wouldn't be restricted by FSAE rules! I miss that MSU FSAE car, and I didn't get nearly enough seat time to satisfy my cravings.
