UBC slush series AUTOX

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?

yea i am in the Formula SAE team, we have just started on the chassis yesterday

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.
