The Race Day Has Come!!!!
Well I couldn't wait for the race day for our Co2 Cars to come. I spent the last few hours before the race thinking about how I could further reduce the friction of the car. But At some point you just can't do much more. Here is my completed car with post race dings on the nose:
I ended up finishing second in the race. The first place car was cut on my machine, but the design was a bit lighter. My car was 2.9 oz, the first place car was 2.3 oz, so it isn't surprising that it won the rare. I suppose next year I'll worry more about weight than the aerodynamics.
I'll post some more in a day or two when I have some more time.
Hi! I work with engineering website EEWeb.com and would love to do an exchange of website links and feature you as a site of the day on EEWeb. Let me know if this is of interest to you! I can be reached at claire@eeweb.com.
