Re: 2008 F1 Podium Picker Challenge: British Grand Prix (Rd 9)

I think the best part about the new place is the 5 min commute.

If you had asked about the TV 4 months ago, we probably would have said yes, but now we are covered :D

I never said it was a perfect plan, it's just been done before.

Re: FSAE Recap

I heard from Ian last night that our Cal Poly guys won the endurance event, won the skid-pad event and placed 5th overall.

If it hadn't been for that pesky fuel injector they would have done very well in the autocross and acceleration also.

Great job guys!!
