SPSU Bath tub races
IDK how many of you would/do know about this, but my school used to hold bath tub races, with basically a go-kart equipped with a bathtub as the seat. Now its been 20 years since they have held these races, and they brought them back this year without the motors. From what I have heard they are hoping to have the more go-kart-esque races next year. Here are a few snapshots from the day. Composition wasn't really a priority in the majority of them.
That is some nice fab work on the #15 and the flag girl is just asking for it from behind
I remember these. Once they quit racing these they started the SAE race team. Some of the bath tubs (actual cast iron tubs) were reaching 90+mph going down the old hill.

that looks like a lot of fun!
i just saw a soapbox video today and thought about building one.
Some of those are pretty bad ass!
yah the bathtub races sounded like a lot of fun to watch. Prof Jordan and Whittle have some stories to tell about them. as for the SAE team. i dunno whats going on now with it but i was the team leader in the spring of last year. it was a lot of fun but i butted heads with the "faculty advisor"/control freak Prof Fleming. im on a sorta perma ban from FSAE at SPSU. i made too many waves there and stood up against the professors on the issue of how the team was being treated. it went down and finally got some structure and i guess its coming back. im still on the contact page though lol http://fsae.spsu.edu/contact.php
here is the car that was finished with me as team leader. cant even begin to think how many man hours i put into it myself.
oh and yes our last car was tubocharged
Jordan's car was legit. I want to make one now lolol. and yeah idk what the FSAE team is up to but i heard they are still working on stuff.
i didnt know what was going on when i tried to leave school this morning. i was in a line of people attempting 7-point turns to try and leave from another exit lol. Looks like fun
