This Supermileage vehicle was built during the 2007-08 competition year. The chassis and body were completely 3D modeled using Autocad Inventor. The chassis was only 1” aluminum tubing. The body made using our XRV styled body shell. The students did all the fiberglass work on this vehicle. It utilized a solid front end with rack and pinion steering, with a rear swing arm suspended using pit bike rear shocks with modified springs. The vehicle utilized a two speed jackshaft assembly, custom hydraulic disk brakes and Briggs and Stratton World Formula engine. This vehicle performed three “hot laps” at Wisconsin International Raceway. The fastest lap average speed was 54.9 MPH. It could have gone faster, but the DOT golf car tires were loosing traction in the corners. Lack of traction was a major issue with this vehicle!
