Help the WWU FSAE race team

A little more info on the VRI...

Here is the VRI home page...

The WWU FSAE home page can be tough to find, so here is a link...

(I was lucky enough to get to help in the layup of the all Carbon Fiber Body of Viking 32 )


This is a great school, and the VRI is a great program.
Most of the materials used to build the FSAE cars are donated, or purchased with student supplied funds.
All of the design and fabrication is done in house, at WWU.
CNC machining, composite design and manufacture, etc.

The current FSAE car is Viking 38, correct?
Do you have any pics?

Hope this helps get some attention...

Don't help WW, help UW

http://students.washington.edu/auto/

UW has far less industry support and avaible tooling than Western (and I am a little bias becasue I am an alum of UW)

Actualy even better help both, Forumla SAE is hands down the best program for creating quality engineers.

Most of the movers and shakers in the automotive industry are FSAE alums (including the engineers that design new mustangs)

For all of the Oregon residents feeling left out here is the '06 Oregon State car. And a link to the website.
Oregon State SAE

As a FormulaSAE alum I can't say enough about the experience that is gained from the program. And SAE grads are definitely the best their are. No other group of programs prepares an engineer better than FormulaSAE and BajaSAE.
