Formula Sun Grand Prix


17-21 May, 2004, Heartland Park, Topeka

Page 3: fun, games and portraits.  Page 1, Page 2.


Being so close to Heartland Park makes our team lazy.  Here's a shot of the KSU "camp" or cold pit.  Yes, all those cars belong to KSU team members!

Minnesota's flag pole.  They flew the Jolly Roger because they "like pirates."  So does Ian!

KSU and MN in the "pit crew" competition. KSU's standard "bench-press" carjack is Allen Halling and Matt Allison.  John Aagaard is at furthest left, then Jeremy Wood, who as just-got-out driver is supposed to get some of the tools.  Matthew Dickson is already in the car as new driver.  Matt Honas and Lindsay Macadam were changing the tire.  James and Paul are lounging on the barrier with Jillian Bahnson's dad, I think.  MN made things interesting and fun with two of their members grabbing folding chairs and sodas from the pile of tools and "directing" the pit operation.  They lost anyway, but had a brand-new roll-bar pit trophy to give us.  Now confess, MN: did you lose the old trophy accidentally or on purpose?
