Hey Guys,

We are doing an indoor karting day Nov. 12th from 6-9pm. We are bringing both the Baja and the Formula car, going to do some demo laps, run some races and have some fun.

Its 25 bucks for two races, and then 10 for each race after. should be a good time. Wear long pants and helmets are provided if you don’t have one. Everyone is invited, lets have some fun. Let me know if you have any questions.

Parking Services has been nice enough to let UIC FSAE use there parking lots for testing several times this summer. We didn’t mind the 5 AM start time, I for one actually liked it as it allowed art major John Herrington to take some great shots of the car, so if you want some hi-res shots send me an email and I’ll get them to you. He also took some video that will soon be edited into a short promo video that will be put up here as soon as its done. We learned a lot about the car and are already working on the new car, we will be doing one more test day to let the drivers get better acquainted with the car. The car is only as fast as the driver lets it be.

BAJA: UIC Completes SAE BAJA

UIC Motorsports competed in the SAE Baja Wisconsion competiton last weekend. Bringing a solid car that everyone had high hopes for we finished 14th out of 100 in the sled pull, but the lack of testing showed that our weak point was in the clutch packs of this years manual transmission, knocking us out of the endurance race. Thanks again to all of our sponsors who made this possible, with a couple minor tweeks and a solid summer testing schedule we should be set to tackle a new challenge next year, the winter classic in the upper penisula of michigan in febuary! there will also be a new website coming soon but until then here are some pictures from the FSAE comp in Michigan.
Thanks,
Eliott
