Thanks to Joey Klimchuk for putting this video together. Great compilation of some autocross and hyperdrive footage from the Fall ‘09 semester! If you like what you see, you should come out and get involved – the more the merrier!

With just two weeks left in the semester, MM’s activities are – unfortunately – winding down for a little while. Keep in mind, we have one final meeting coming up December 2nd at 7 PM.

After a semester of autocross, track days, meetings, wrenching, photo shoots, go-karting, Kline’s, and (hooray) zero broken DSMs, we’ll leave you with this. According to the Society of Manufacturing Engineers…

At the core of this sport is the fact that continuous learning, networking and connecting … is the most effective way for individuals, teams and organizations to accomplish their objectives and gain a sustainable competitive advantage to win races.

With that said, as we go separate ways for the month of December, keep learning new things about your car and yourself. There are many MM students and alumni in the Northern Virginia and Richmond/Roanoke areas, so if anyone is in need of a helping hand or some wrenching knowledge over break, don’t hesitate to post up on the Forum and ask! That the weather is cold and lousy does not put motorsports on hold for a season.

We’re looking forward to seeing everyone in the spring!! Watch the home page for updates as to our first meeting and its’ location/date/time. Have a great break and stay safe out there!

  The first real chance to get back out on track, or to get out there if you’ve never been before! Register with NASA (click here) to race in HPDE, do a Hyperdrive, or participate in the Circuitcross on Sunday.

  Workers may also be needed! We are waiting to hear back from the Cobettos in that regard, and will keep everyone posted.
