I could say something about the seating, but really, you had an SR71 within 20 yards of the field... wish I could have been there.

Awesome venue! I would love to see an SR-71 Blackbird up close. I believe that plane still holds the air speed record.
Nice job! |

OH MY GOSH!!!!!
That is so cool/awesome/jaw dropping/i so want to go next year factor!!!!:yikes: man that looks like fun. I now have a new desktop background! |

Very cool venue. Congrats on a great competition (from what I heard from 1771.) |

Wow, what an amazing venue. One of the reasons I liked regolith was the way it made photos like this nice and bright.
Well, MY off season event, I was too distracted to pay attention to the venue. IRI does that :P |
Re: pic: So, where was YOUR off-season held?
Does anybody know if that field border is custom or borrowed from FIRST?
If it's borrowed, could this be the new field design mentioned back in July? |

On one hand I like seating, on the other... SR-71 within spitting distance of the field... Eh, I spend most competitions standing anyway.
WICKED COOL! |
Re: pic: So, where was YOUR off-season held?
Awesome venue! A great way to promote the FRC program as well. Did the museum make you guys like an attraction (i.e. promoted/advertised the event)?

I ran across an article today while reading about the new hydrogen-powered land speed record.
The SR-71 has been in a distant 2nd since NASA broke the record with their X-43A. Of course, there are major differences, such as a 10-second flight vs. a several-hour flight, but those are minor details so some. These days since we're all about energy efficiency, I don't see why we just aim for a nice round 1039.1876 mph at an altitude of 10km (~33,000 ft). That way a passenger plane that took off during daylight and headed east could maintain the use of solar energy no matter how far it had to fly... Sounds like another good X-challenge to me. |

Ah, yes ... west. Whoops!

Re: pic: So, where was YOUR off-season held?
I'd have to say that the SR-71 still holds the record for manned, reusable flight... And possibly the speed-to-size ratio.
