A long time coming...

So here we are, April 2nd and the cars are actually being shipped to Cali today. To be honest I didn't think we were gonna make it. With things failing, taking way more time than they should, and us deciding to take an extra car things were looking very bleak for the Cedarville team. Thankfully we had a ton of help and guys (and girls) who stepped up and did what it took so we had finished cars to ship today. I personally have only gotten 8 hours of sleep since I woke up Saturday morning...Gotta love oh crap week. For those of you who don't know what oh crap week is, we have defined it as the week/two weeks before a competition when you truly realize how far you are behind and what needs to get done to pass inspection. Sorry for such a long break from updating. We all have just been crazy busy. Here are some pictures in hopes that you still might love us.

I hated "oh crap" week as well with the Cal Poly team. Late nights with no sleep. Keeping the shop open till 3 in the morning. Trying to fit some machining in between classes. I'm glad that I've graduated on moved into the "working world". Good luck and see you at the Shell competition. Go Cal Poly! -hehe
