2009

After the graduation of the greatest seniors ever, the team numbers are
small, however, a group of students are continuing to make
improvements to what will always be known as "Joe's car".
Currently we are working on the front steering knuckles in an attempt to
straighten the front tires with the goal if decreasing the rolling resistance.
