Formula SAE International Competition
This year at Formula SAE in Romeo, Michigan Auburn faced more
obstacles than any competition in recent memory and still managed to
emerge with a 15th place overall out of 125. Trouble
passing the noise test kept the team from competing in skidpad and
allowed us only one acceleration run. Injector problems continued
to plague us through the autocross and endurance events but we
managed to place 31st and 17th in those
respectively. However, the team truly shined in the static events,
which has been a weak spot in the past. We placed 11th
in cost and 3rd in presentation, which worlds better than
ever before. In the prestigious design event we advanced to the
semi-finals where we were given 6th place. The judges
commented that they were impressed with our overall understanding of
the car and specifically our understanding of the tires. They also
commented on generally clean and proper fabrication and assembly
techniques.
We had a blast, as always, and with a completely
new team organization for the 2007 season, we expect even bigger and
better things of ourselves.
