We realized we never posted some of the coolest pictures that came out of the World of Speed event! At the event there were three other schools in their respective classes. Furthest to the left is of course our car with myself (Michael R. Morgan), my Dad (Michael D. Morgan), and Jon Snyder as representatives for USU. The second car from the left is the Brigham Young University (BYU) team with their electric streamliner that is the current land speed record holder in its class. Following that is one of the Fox Valley Technical College cars out of Wisconsin and they also have the other car that is the furthest to the right in the photo. Second to last in the photo is the el Camino running a turbocharged big block chevy out of Utah Valley University (UVU). The were running in the 180's for much of the event. It was pretty awesome to see the other schools there and hopefully we will see more. Sadly this was the last event for the BYU car as there is no longer a faculty member who is willing to take over the project now that the professor previously in charge has retired. Best of luck to you guys and hopefully someone will pick it up in the future!
Someone from the BYU group also talked about the event here: http://dailyderbi.com/world-of-speed-at-the-bonneville-salt-flats/
