Build Semester Updates

The teams have been working hard to keep the car going forward as we zip along through the semester.

BAER Welding has come on board and have sponsored us with aluminum for the drivetrain.  They have been awesome to work with! Thanks you guys!



 The new ceramic bearings for the rear axle are absolutely awesome.  Even with no weight on the axles right now they spin super freely and keep spinning.  Huge advantage over the previous bearings, one of those bearings from the original setup ended up actually failing, luckily it wasn't enough to stop us but looks to have been a factor in us just missing resetting the record at the World Finals event where we weren't able to overcome the wind and back up our previous record breaking run.  We missed by a hair so we are going all out to make sure that the little things won't add up to hold us back!  Looking forward to the World of Speed event in September!
