The Formula SAE competition is a premier collegiate engineering competition which allows students to apply their engineering principals in the design and manufacturing of a prototype racecar. The students must test the vehicle to determine which improvements will make the car faster, more maneuverable, or more responsive. Historically, these students have shown the fastest advancement in this country’s leading companies. In return, these companies support this project and leverage its graduates.

Members of the Wisconsin Racing team gain depth in their engineering knowledge while applying it to a practical application. Students exhibit a high level of dedication as they juggle their responsibilities to the team with an intense engineering course load. Although members are given the option to receive credit for their work, the time and effort they put in makes it evident that they are passionate about what they do.

Finally available for immediate shipment – the Ny-Trex Typhoon Turbine Retro kit.

The Typhoon is a turbine located to feed the throttle body that brings a new and efficient way to improve delivery of Nitrous into intakes. Using the 900 to 1000 PSI high pressure created during nitrous activation, the Typhoon Turbine acts like a jet engine in revving up the flow of the mixture into the engine, thus increasing BOTH horsepower and torque. More importantly, it can even aid performance when not in use...

May Motorsports checking in with a racing weekend update. This past weekend was not a race for points, but an opportunity to race with the International Supermodified Association (ISMA). The Friday night 40 Lap race was canceled due to weather and rescheduled for Saturday morning @ 10:30 a.m. There were 33 cars competing for a starting spot in this race of which 27 made the field. The 100 Lap race took place as scheduled on that same day in the evening with 28 cars taking the green flag. Charlie Schultz in the May Motorsports #7 car was 2nd fastest qualifier for both racing events.

Quick top line summary:
40 Lap Event: #7 Charlie Schultz placed 3rd and #77 Tim Ice placed #5th (Podium finish picture enclosed and Charlie 1st one on the left in the black suit holding the water bottle.)
100 Lap Event: #7 Charlie Schultz DNF (Broke Rear End Lap 33) and #77 Tim Ice placed 5th.

The following is the racing recap for both of these events...

We had a strong outing at the NHRA Summit Racing Equipment Nationals at Norwalk, Ohio with the new .36 / .41 nitrous tune-up calculated by nitrous guru Ken Brahier of Ny-Trex Nitrous Oxide Systems.  In front of a record breaking crowd this season for the NHRA Full Throttle Series, we qualified with a 6.851 at 189.92 MPH running our nitrous timers on at .10 seconds into the run for only 5.00 seconds down the track.  The new .36 / .41 nitrous spread showed quicker incremental times all the way down the track compared to our 200+ MPH pass from the NHRA Lucas Oil Series event at Norwalk earlier this month.  We can't wait for the opportunity to see what this nitrous spread is capable of producing in the quarter mile running our nitrous timers from the starting line to the finish line.

The showbike "El Marinero Borracho" is the creation of Christian de Kant of DK Motorrad. Born out of his passion for Japanese bike culture and the spanish language, this bike is loud, low, and fast! It took Christian 6 months to complete El Marinero Borracho. "Over here in Switzerland building a custom bike is very slow." he says, "Cool parts are hard to find and local shops hardly have anything in stock."

Christian says his addiction with vintage Harleys started in high school. Born in Germany but going on 10 years in Switzerland, Christian has been building bikes since the age of 16. Past projects include a 47 WLa 71 rigid ironhead and couple of newer Harleys.

Multiple future projects are in the works including a 71 shovel and a 47 Knuck.
