I just got back from a college motor-sport design competition and track event in Lincoln Nebraska.<div><br></div><div>I was too tired at night to drive to Omaha and scout the College World Series.</div><div><br></div><div>
At any rate, on Saturday, while walking around the pit area, I saw some Hoosier racing tires (nearly every team ran with those) with some interesting chalk marks.</div><div><br></div><div>The University of Kansas team had an awesome car and solid drivers. They won. I pegged them as a super strong team about fifteen minutes after I got to the track. Illinois had a very good car. Sadly, they busted a front wing late in an endurance run and the car become too tough to steer. A team from Brazil had a very fast car. Good drivers too. Damn Brazilian race car drivers. . .</div>
<div><br></div><div>Cal came in 15 out of about 80 entrants. The car ran strong but suffered some brake problems. Good driving kept them in the competition. They had been gunning for a top twenty finish this year, so fifteen exceeded their goal by a lot. Joseph says they want a top ten finish within the next two years. But for that pesky front brake drag they might have had a top ten finish this year.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Cool stuff. Rick -- enjoy the picture.</div><div><br></div><div>-- Rich</div><div><br></div><div><br></div>
