Over spring break, our Cooper Motorsports team went out to the Metropolitan Expeditionary Learning School (MELS) to help teach about and build fuel cell model cars. We would like to thank MELS for the great opportunity we had to pass on what we know about automotive engineering to our community's youth.

We would like to thank Mary K. Lynch and Michelle Hyers (ME '06) for their generous monetary donations. Mary was our founding patron and is the reason we were even able to establish Cooper Motorsports nearly seven years ago. Michelle led the first Formula Team senior projects and design reviews in 2005 when the team was still in its infancy. Thanks for all the help!

With the SCCA season over and our members back from their winter break, now is the perfect opportunity for test data analysis and subsystem refinement. Over the next few months, the team plans to make major modifications to the drivetrain, brakes, frame, and perform additional engine tuning to take on any competitor this Spring. Come challenge and support us this coming SCCA season!
