Default Greetings from Ford proving grounds outside of Detroit

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/67849/img_0903h.jpg"></center><p>Here is the Duke Motorsports Formula SAE car (sans nose cone) on the Tilt Table. They tilt it to 60 degrees to see if the C.G. calculations our frame guys ran on it were correct (i.e. would i tip over). I say "i" because I was indeed the lucky lad who got to sit there while it all happened (tallest driver on the team). It looks like there is a strap keeping you from tipping over but it is slack, so if the car were to start going you would have a nice pucker moment before the strap (hopefully) caught you

I wake up tomorrow to drive the skidpad event, then endurance on saturday. More updates/pictures then.
