I took a quick break from work and my car to go watch other cars! Formula SAE (FSAE) is a collegiate competition organized by SAE International where students design, build, and race small, open-wheel formula-style race cars. This year's event was hosted by the Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, Michigan, and I traveled up there to volunteer. On Thursday, I helped set out cones for the autocross and skid pad. Unfortunately, it was raining and miserably cold, so I didn't get any pics. Today (Friday), I worked timing and scoring for the skid pad. Walking through the pits gave me robotics competition flashbacks mixed with the adrenaline of being at the track on a race weekend. Congrats to all the teams on their unique designs and hard work, and good luck on enduro tomorrow! I can't wait to return to this event as a competitor!
