The funny thing is that it's easier to read in english than in french, but I think Isabel already told you.

i meant can, i'm tired lol it's the only way you CAN taste real beer lol, canadian beer use to be stronger than american beer. And some people around here tasted Unibroue beer previously (party after wisconsin, party after Rochester 2010, maybe few more times) and I'm pretty sure they enjoyed it a lot (ask Matt from Cornell, he will agree).

Rowan will be there with one car. But one problem we are having is that
the email address that we are trying to send a response to,
president@epreuvedunord.com, is not getting them. I am getting a response back saying that the server is rejecting our emails.

We've got a car from 2011, it passed tech but didn't pass the brake test. If it passes the brake test at the Epreuve du Nord event are we good to go?

The organizers are looking for ideas to make a more exciting track again this year, any features you would like to to see?
Can't promise it'll be there but we sure will consider!

I think it would be cool to have the element that is in every (SCORE) Baja race, and is lacking from every (SAE) Baja race, SILT!
Maybe make it into an optional shortcut? |

EDIT: Oh and I forgot the first time you hit silt, get ready to clean your air filter. Never seen as dirty an air filter as my truck's after a day at the dry lake bed. Edited by Richie_Dagger - Jan/06/2014 at 3:40pm |

For the Silt, maybe we can figure something out...

Ask your university, they probably can provide it.
If you write an email to president@epreuvedunord.ca , they can probably give you more detail.

In the past 3 or 4 years they've been there only once and it was last year (they were there the first four editions). From what I've heard, they told the organisation that they would probably not come but it wasn't official yet. Maybe some ETS guys can tell...

I will answer all your questions lol...
It's not planned to show (with a car...), it is not my decision, but my captain decision... We still have time to convince him and register... we'll try to intimidate him so he accepts, but there's no guarantee on our chances of success. If you have any idea on a way to convince him, just tell me and I'll give him the reasons why we should show with a car. Otherwise, some of us will show for party reason and socialize. Brad, if still didn't learn any words of french by your passage in Quebec City, I will teach you some key sentences popular with Quebec girls! Or just how to properly call a beer!

So we are preparing stuff for the race.
We modified the jumps a bit this year, less steep and longer. Goin' full speed, our driver cleared 30' pretty smooth. |

Thanks for putting on a really good race! My whole team had a ton of fun...Some were also very jealous that Clarkson does not have a tractor/snowcat building team, It seems that if we did the Baja team would be smaller.

We finally got around to finishing our video documenting our trip and experience at Epreuve du Nord this year.
We had a great time and I'm fairly certain our team is planning to return next year. Thanks again Laval for hosting such an awesome event. Also, thanks to McGill for putting up with us Kentucky folk over the weekend. |
