U of W Testing

Herman and Wade have been working hard on the fixing the 2005 Senior Vehicle which has a CVT. Due to rainy conditions powerband was ruled out for testing and we instead got a few people into the 2005 Senior car at the U of W. After hearing a few sweaks and squeels it was discovered that the right front rotor was not bolted. After fixing this issue and cleaning out the 2006 transmission on Saturday September 23rd 2006 we will use both vehicles and test them with the G-tech to gather some vehicle dynamics data. Testing will occur at CARE from 10am till 2pm. Come out and see what's going on if your interested.

Powerband

On Thursday September 21st 2006 we will take the vehicles to Powerband for testing. Our main goal from this trip is to better understand how the vehicle handles and what we can do to improve the vehicle as a whole. Departure time approximately 4pm/4:30pm.

We are currently working on new Donnor packages.

See you there.

First Official Baja Meeting & Hogback Hill

Our first official Baja meeting will take place on Wednesday September 6th at 6pm in the CARE building.

Also I was reading up on the RIT competition and its endurance race will be taking place at Hogback Hill Motocross track. There is a video of the track if you would like to take a look. "The track will have some obstacles (logs, rocks & mud) along the track but 75% will be motorcross style." posted on the RIT forum by the Cheif of the Dynamic events.
