Well I just got back from TTU Baja SAE Race in Cookeville, TN. Where RIT Baja teams ended up with the following
Suspension and Traction orange car-3rd
Acceleration gray car-1st
acceleration orange car-7th
Endurance Race gray car(4 hours)-1st
Overall gray car-2nd
I drove car # 38 (gray)that won the 4 hour endurance race :carnut
This is out of ~80 cars total
now for pics
Me accepting the Trophy
Cool beans I know UB has a team but I never really looked into it. I don’t have time for that stuff 
what was the weight of the cars? with/wo flotation also what cvt are you guys running , you guys have run the p90 in past years if i recall correctly.
those are good acceleration results , how did you guys do in the sled pull?
We tend to do awsome in the acceleration but get owned in the hillclimb/sledpulls and i am certain it is because our commet 790 does not back shift correctly, but we got some test time ahead of us for Montreal
ohh and i am from UB if you were wondering
Gray car w/float was 470
Orange car w/float was 500
We are still running the P90, with S94 notched weights, some random spring we had in our collection which is limited, we are ordering more springs this week. We were testing for about a week straight with both cars and I think we finally have something we can work with. The notches were a pain because there are so many different theories behind the weights. With the float off we were looking at 4 flat, with the new springs we are hoping to be below that.
Are you guys going to illinios? we got shafted this year so many new 2 car teams it’s not even funny, we were in the running for the Mike Schmitt award.
no only the one competition this year , we planed on building a new car this year and because of budget reasons only registered for 1 comp, but we took a big hit in manpower this year so we are just refreshing last years car and running it again. Good news is we got a decent amount of next years car done, i just hope their arn’t any big rule changes
Great job guys!! I remember testing those springs and weights for hours and hours trying to get the right combo, p.i.t.a. And holy crap you guys have a huge team this year, thats almost twice as many people as we used to have go to the races.
