Maryland FSAE 2011 Solo Nationals - Mike West Course Run 3

[the3lracer]

When the run just doesn't seem that fast, it's usually caused by one of two things:

1) The run was actually slower than January Molasses

2) The run was that darn smooth and stupidly fast.

Yeah, definitely number 2 here. Great job to Mike and all the Terps Racing folk>

P.S. So is one glove is the secret....will need to remember that for 2012...

Does this car have 13" wheels in the rear and 10" in the front? Looks like it can go WOT for 80% of the track, wow.

@Weberseon Yes, its running Hoosier R25B - 7.5"x10" in the front and 9"x13" in the rear - because Racecar.

High drag + low power = lots of WOT

how many runs did the tires have? I see a lot of degridation

[mwahaha91]

@miataguy94

These tires had 11 runs on them before this one. The degridation is OPR; at the end of nationals we drove away with more rubber on the tires than what came with them!

Exceptional in every way.  Your school should be proud of your team and what you have accomplished!

That is AMAZING grip. You guys have built a fantastic car, and drive it VERY well. Nice job.
