Check out the infamous "Buckeye Burnout" on youtube and the FSAE West video. As you see from the FSAE West video, FSAE is so much more than burnouts and racing, it is an engineering competition from the ground up. Click here to see the 2008 Formula Buckeyes promo video.
Here is our page on the College of Engineering's Student Project's page.
DENSO has also been kind enough to make a generous donation to the team, as well as all Engineering Student Projects, and those stories are shown in the following links:

Just a reminder to everyone that NO PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE is necessary to be a part of the team. Most of the current team leaders started off in the same position that you are in right now, so we are happy to teach you the necessary skills to be an integral part of the team. All we ask is that you are ready and willing to learn.
We are striving for the earliest completion date ever for the 2008-2009 car, and in order to accomplish this goal, we are going to need as much help as we can get. If you are interested in joining the team or want to know more info about what exactly we do, feel free to contact the team Captain or a team leader (Contact info is on the "Roster" page) and they will be glad to help you in any way possible.
