Competition: Day 2!

The second day of competition didn’t start quite as early. Day two was reserved for passing the dynamic tech inspections, and for the design presentations. Here we are, about to leave from the parking lot.

We had spent last night reviewing all of the design presentations, and auditing and critiquing everyone’s performance. Everyone had worked to improve their part of this contest since West.


We entered the track as they opened up, and attended to a few details, such as getting fresh tires mounted.


Looking for leaks on the tilt table.

Fixing leak from failed tilt table test, followed by returning to tilt table and passing.

Right after lunch, we waited for the practice area to open up. These lazy guys were all asleep when I went out to check on them!

Here we are, ready to fly! (Notice the three sticker sections. We get them for safety inspection, tilt table, and noise and brake testing. When you have all three, you may drive in the dynamic events.)

I don’t have any pictures of the actual judging, because I was busy presenting the cooling system. (To the technical director of Lamborghini!) Some of the other guys have these, and would love to show them to you if you drop by for a visit.

After we finished our events, we explored, checked up on our rivals, and left as the sun set.
