Hushpower's R&D group was was proud to recently provide assistance to the University of Idaho Vandals racing group on their 2008 Fomula SAE vehicle. The UI students spent two days at the Hushpower R&D shop doing dyno testing and fab work on the car. The Formula SAE competition is for SAE student members to conceive, design, fabricate, and compete with small formula style racing cars. The restrictions on the car frame and engine are limited so that the knowledge, creativity, and imagination of the students are challenged. The cars are built with a team effort over a period of about one year and are taken to the annual competition for judging and comparison with approximately 120 other vehicles from colleges and universities throughout the world. The end result is a great experience for young engineers in a meaningful engineering project as well as the opportunity of working in a dedicated team effort.
