Yea, I too plan on parking at the (W5) HE Holmes Marta station. How worried should I be about leaving my car there?

Absolutely amazing!

Absolutely! Our project is funded 90% by private donations and sponsorships. It costs us over $20,000 each year to construct our vehicle...not to mention extra costs, such as travel. We're traveling to Fontana, CA in June to compete again in Formula SAE West and that will end up costing us...

It's a part of the Society of Automotive Engineers, but it's open to all students at UA. Just this year we added a business major to the team and we're always looking to add more. It just happens that majority of the team is composed of mechanical engineers.

We got back from a week long competition at Virginia International Raceway last night around midnight with our best finish ever at a Formula SAE event. We finished 8th out of 43 and also defeated Auburn for the first time. I won't talk trash about them because they're actually a decent group...

We debuted our 2008 Formula SAE car on 4/21 and we're heading to Virginia International Raceway on 4/22 to compete in our first international competition of the year. We'll then be traveling to Fontana, California in June to compete again. Here's a few pics.
