Racer X



We were on the way to Emissions testing and had to stop for a nice photo op. We're showing Englishtown that you can save fuel at the race track. Who wants to race for pinks :-)

Huskynox Means Business

The sun crested the tree line this morning, and the Huskynox was ready and waiting to dominate the competition.  The tech inspectors didn't bother with an inspection since the vehicles' reliability and the teams workmanship is well known and respected.

Well, it didn't go quite as scripted but due to some hard work by the team in the pits this bad machine is ready for a good flogging.  It is actually behaving quite well, and MTU has already claimed victory in one metric!

Big day tomorrow and Thursday when this country car gets to spend time with some city slickers down in NYC.

So it Begins

We are all waking up this morning wondering what is in store for us.  A plane ride for sure for the ten of us traveling to Newark, NJ our first stop in the ten day road rally to Washington, DC.  You know there are ten of traveling, and these ten people know how to make a hybrid car, but I will be in shock if all ten of us show up on time to Newark.

The Truck is coming

36 hours from now a big truck is coming to steal away our prized hybrid.
We can't complain a whole lot since GM is taking us on the "vacation"
highlight of our college careers. The plan is a rigorous road rally
featuring extensive vehicle testing, fancy hotels, enough press releases
to satisfy a national news paper and of course a ton of fun. Our MTU
vehicle has been running great the last few days and Cobasys just signed
off on our new battery as being OK for the journey. Washington DC here we
come!
