FSAE Michigan May 2023 Endurance Run #1-UCONNRacing

Video of my first run during FSAE Michigan Endurance. We were at the top of the second to last group to go out aka 7th in autocross. I set the fastest lap time of the day with a 125.8 on the third lap which was one of my two clean laps.

Excellent drive! Y'all made a quick car. FeelsBadMan for the NC State car with mechanical trouble.

8:00 laughing my ass off at the "Skill Issue" decal

[@john-wx7gr]

Big ass wing = extra compensation. ODU had NO WINGS or canards and still passed people with massive aero kits that year

[@HixsonRacing777]

I'm a big fan of no wings

[@jonewing7374]

Yeah I'm wondering how much downforce it could even make at the 15-40mph range turns are taken at. I'm sure it's not much.😅

[@bretiath]

Wow that car has a great powertrain!

[@HixsonRacing777]

There must’ve been many brilliant minds at work for the powertrain to be that good

[@CashedOutCars]

Nice driving and nice job representing the Cashed logo on the front wing ;) makes me miss this!

[@HixsonRacing777]

Thanks dude, it’s a one of a kind experience in racing

[@chiefbentilhutton_QMFS]

You are amazing!! seriously!

[@HixsonRacing777]

Thanks chief

[@revo69]

WTF what a close call, but a needed, desperate overtake at 4:40

[@HixsonRacing777]

It was a little close

[@superz47]

Fast af dude, you make other drivers look like noob.

[@HixsonRacing777]

I eat noobs for breakfast

[@dringames2527]

Nice camera view 😎📷

[@HixsonRacing777]

Thanks classic smarty cam

[@bacco0447]

man that's a fast one, btw i was wondering how big are the front and rear wings and how much downforce are you guys making?

[@paullayer4152]

You’re rapid!!

[@isaachaynes6935]

Awesome data! What data acquisition module/telemetry software are you using to display the data on screen?

[@HixsonRacing777]

We use a smarty cam that’s connected to an AIM data logger at the back of the car.

[@henrymorse9939]

good shit, any idea what brake bias % yall run?

[@mrGeekykidRET]

Awesome job! Cool to see the competitions in the US. We’re competing in Italy and the UK this year, maybe we’ll se you there?

[@HixsonRacing777]

Nice! Unfortunately we don’t race in Europe haha

[@alexruiz1197]

Great driving. For curoius, what gear ratio u are using?

[@HixsonRacing777]

I'm not entirely sure I can get back to you on that if you want

[@alexruiz1197]

[@HixsonRacing777]

[@suntzu6122]

Can you tell me what motor and what motor controller you are using please?

[@HixsonRacing777]

2017 Yamaha R6 with a Syvecs ECU

[@coletickle]

did you also drive for the autocross event at Michigan 2023?

[@HixsonRacing777]

I did yes, and in 2022 I drove Endurance and Autocross as well

[@fachrurozi533]

what happened to the car of the second driver? did the right side shutdown button still pushed?

[@HixsonRacing777]

The car going super slow was NC state they were stuck in 4th gear but decided to putt around at 5 mph anyways

[@ak8392]

Wjat engine are you running, can't believe a 600 can rev upto 14,000 with 20mm restrictior.

[@HixsonRacing777]

We are running a 2018 Yamaha R6

[@ClioTio]

Good aggression from the driver. Clearly comfortable in the backstreatch area but struggling with optimal pace throughout most of the slow speeds. Line through the zigzags and under braking needs work. A Lot of unused performance.

[@HixsonRacing777]

Well I had the fastest lap time out of anyone for endurance. I doubt you’ve raced much at all or maybe the cam perspective is confusing you on where the car is but I’m better through the slaloms and tight stuff than pretty much every other car at comp
