      Sparks start Flyin' (9/05/09)
          After a successful College of Technology picnic, the team picked up 7 new members from 4 different majors. The team is now 12
          people strong with more to come. It has been a busy week, we are officially registered for the 2010 competition (car #14) and
          we will be pacing orders for many of our parts and chassis supplies this week. It is great getting the team together and letting
          the ideas come out. 122 days to competition.

      Down to Business (8/28/09)
          Classes start on Monday. Those of us who have been around campus have been spending some time in the lab getting organized.
          Now that the Dynamometer  is out of the way we have a lot more room to work with. We will begin having regular meetings on
          Tuesday and rest assured we will be spending a lot of time in the lab in the next few weeks. We hope to get the main roll hoops
          bent in the next couple weeks so we can begin chassis construction. Stay tuned...
 
      Ready to Roll (7/16/2009)
          In about a month we are headed back to school. The summer has flown by. We have all been working on our designs and
          trying to secure sponsorship for the year. Times are tough and many companies are struggling to stay afloat let alone have
          money laying around to donate. We are going to be making some trips to school in the next couple weeks to set up our
          shop and make sure that we are ready to roll when we return so that we can get straight to work. We have a ambitions timeline
          and to stick to it we are going to have to stay on the ball.
     
      Summer Break?? (5/17/2009)
          Well, we have all been out of school now for a little more than a week. The team got together before finals and talked about
          what each of us hope to accomplish over the summer. We also got two new team members. Hybrid is now 5 strong and I
          think that number will grow again in the fall. Though this is supposed to be a time that we can relax a little without the stress
          of school, we are all working diligently on our designs so that come fall we are ready to build. Summer yes... break no.

      A Busy Week (4/24/09)
           This past Tuesday the team attended SAE World Congress in Detroit, MI. We talked to a lot of companies and hopefully
           made some good contacts for sponsorships. Then Friday We went back down to the Detroit area (Auburn Hills) to take a
           tour of the Chrysler Tech. Center. It is a pretty impressive facility but it is also a clear representation of the current state of
           the automotive market and the economy.

      The team is Official! (3/25/09)
           After a very successful meeting on the 23rd with the Dean of the College of Technology we were approved as a new team
           under the SAE Student Organization here on campus. Though we have already started planning, it is good to gain the full
           support of the school.
