Our team completed all events in a timely manner, actually finishing the first day's dynamic events a few hours early. They were doing well enough that they spent a several hours over the weekend helping other teams work on their cars trying to pass tech inspection. This spirit is what Aggie Pride is all about!
The team members who are still here after exams are planning a few upgrades to take care of some minor issues they saw and hope to take a top 10 finish in Illinois the end of this month. We wish them the best of luck in their next competition. Go Aggie Racing!
