So I missed about a week's worth of classes last week to attend my first ever Formula competition at VIRginia International Raceway.
It was a very exciting and grueling experience. I got about 5-6 hours of sleep each night, but was working under the heat of the Virginian sun for about 12 hours straight.
But it was all worth it though, because when all was said and done, my team had placed 3rd overall - our first podium finish since 1982.
Formula SAE VIR Series - Final Standings
Static Events
- Presentation: 9th
- Cost: 6th
- Design: 5th
Dynamic Events
- Skidpad: 4th
- Acceleration: 3rd
- Autocross: 3rd
- Endurance: 3rd
Overall: 3rd Place!
We placed top 10 in all events, and we know we could have done better if our driver wasn't stuck in 2nd gear due to a chain tensioning problem during the endurance race. We will see the top 2 teams in Detroit, along with several other big players. We shall see who's left standing in a few weeks!

Nice job! That looks awesome. Did you get to drive the car at all?
