10-8-11

Jason and I met up with the current UC FSAE team at Camden.  We brought out the '97, '98 & '02 cars, while UC had their '08 & '11 cars.  Blue and Stumpy had a bit of stage fright to start with, but eventually fired up and ran.  However, Blue ended the day prematurely with a broken drive shaft.  Blue's new engine appears to be a decent runner and the new dash worked fine except for the tach which was reading double the actual rpm.  Stumpy ran well and has a very good amount of grip, but the shifting and steering effort can be improved.  Money ran very well, but ended a very long day of running with a broken rear pull-rod pick up.  We ran two slaloms.  Slaloms are something we usually pass on, but they were very very fun.  Below is a video of me behind the wheel of Money for a few laps.
