I was on the Texas (UT) team in '98, I believe. We were a bit of a mess and plagued with breakage but it was a lot of fun and I learned a lot from the group. I was just a freshman in college so didn't have a lot of engineering knowledge but I was the guy with common sense to make sure the threory could be implemented in the real world. We ran a 600cc F4I engine. Best part besides not sleeping for ~4 days was getting to go into the GM workshop with the car to fix it. I still remember being facinated by the shear number of tools and hardware available....
I never made it to an automotive career becuase I played too much and could not get my ME degree but I can't complain about where I am today.
