Baja SAE Car Testing (Pics!)
Went out with a group of students from Cal Poly Pomona to do some testing on last year's Baja SAE car. We were looking for things to change for this year's car. It was a fun time!
Here are some pics: (click for the full size) And a Video on YouTube: My performance behind the wheel wasn't good, so I'm not going to be a driver, but I'm glad I got to drive a little. Now I want to build one for myself!

Are you going to be going to competitions? I see that you guys beat us (Oregon State) in Illinois last spring. Great to see what you guys are up to--I know I enjoy following the performance of my school's SAE teams--Baja and Formula (I dated a guy who was on the Formula team back in the day ). It also looks like a lot of fun!

Looks like Oregon State tied for first in the Sales Presentation. I guess I'll have some competition!

We were the first team to present a car from our university...on the one hand I was supremely jealous of other universities who had pedigree, history, and many previous designs to refine--on the other hand I think coming up with the entire car from scratch based on nothing but theory is probably a wholly different challenge, and I do not regret our undertaking.
Plus I got to engineer a really cool differential

This is very cool stuff to be involved with at the college level...being a motorhead, I'm sorry they didn't have this when I was in engineering school ...which must have been before they invented cars way back in 1968 to 1972.

Despite last year's success, the Cal Poly Baja project still has a lot of room to improve. I can only imagine what it was like when they first started.
