"The purpose of this is to cover the rear gear shifter."


We slept in this morning. After putting up the 40mph run we're feeling quite confident, and the need to qualify for the official runs on 305 doesn't exist.

Today's plans include a fitment of a breathing system (made the Cal Poly way with a respirator and some hose we found at a pawn shop) and a few practice launches. The weather today is a bit windy and quite sunny. Hopefully the wind will die down in time for the runs.




UC Davis showed up late last night. They brought a handful of people and were quite friendly. We're enjoying the extra company of another college team... rumor has it that UMR has sent a few people to come and observe the event too, but I haven't seen anyone from Missouri yet.

Nick and Matt are the perfect married couple... it's still hilarious to watch them argue (about anything). It's also pretty funny when the agree on something too.




Some scratches on Damnjan's bike after he hit the ground at 74 mph.

Oh and on a sidenote; the comment made about people on baja just being monkeys is not what I meant... what I meant to say was that the monkeys on baja are similar to people because they use smart hammers. It's a good thing that a formula guy invented the smart hammer too. :P
