Monday, July 30,;2001 - The Michigan Daily - 7 M-PULSE Continued from Page 1 Csues to improve the car's reliability, ich were complicated by the fact that problems aren't always easy to pinpoint or correct, Gilchrist said. That continued a pattern begun when the team was building the vehicle in Ann Arbor. "One night we were there from 4 p.m. one day until 6 p.m. the next day," said Engineering senior Stephen Heinz, who worked on the electrical aspect of e car. Heinz remembered going home with aluminum chips in his hair. The team was able to reach the point where they were consistently in the lead position in the last few days. The team contended with high tem- peratures as well as rough roads, tough competition and technical problems. "Some of the days were very hot - well over 100 degrees;' Gilchrist said. "I can assure you it was at least 10 degrees hotter inside the car." To ensure the driver's safety, the team stayed in constant radio contact with the driver and made sure the driver had plenty of water. There were two primary drivers for the car, and two back-up drivers. The drivers switched off at every checkpoint. "As the race went on we figured out ways to get more air into where the driv- er was,"Gilchrist said. The team is resting for now but will begin preparing for their Australian trip at the beginning of August. Fundraising and refurbishing the car are necessary steps to take to ready the team for the next competition. Shwayhat said he expects road condi- tions to be better in Australia. Racing on Route 66 was difficult at times because of traffic and bumpy roads. "You're on the same street as all the Ford Tauruses' he said, adding the solar cars are small and drivers don't always see them. The Australian course is a straight shot of well-kept highway. Shwayhat said expects it to be a "much better test of what your car can do." "What makes it difficult is the level of competition," he added. Last year's competition consisted of 40 to 50 teams from I1 countries and six continents. The competition is not restricted to universities. Companies race their designs next to the students. Gilchrist said the team is still in high spirits and is optimistic about their chances for a good finish. "The team is quite motivated to take their solar car and compete at the inter- national level," he said. "As a faculty advisor, I am quite proud of what the team has accomplished ... and quite impressed." -Daily News Editor Louie Meizlish contributed to this report. the michigan da SPACIOUS & two bedroom apartments available for all 2001. 8 minutes (walking) from diag, clean, quiet, parking, non-smokers only.
