After five years of perseverance and countless challenges, we finally achieved one of our best results in recent history and returned to competing in dynamic events. After making it a point to get lots of testing time and test for noise and brakes, we were able to pass tech with flying colors, allowing us to finish tech before dynamic events opened. This allowed us to attempt all dynamic events on day 3, as well as starting and finishing endurance, two things we are extremely proud of. Our team has come a long way, overcoming the odds and learning from our mistakes.We are Grateful for all the support and grateful for the opportunity to learn and grow. Thank you all for believing in us!
This Wednesday is one of Oregon Tech's Largest fundraising events of the year, Give a Hoot Day. Donations sent on Give A Hoot Day towards OTR will be matched dollar for dollar, effectively doubling your contribution to our team. Any contribution, big or small, made to our team will greatly help us get closer to our goals.

Our first testing day was a massive success. After getting some runtime on the dyno and working out the small problems we were able to finally get it on a course to see how it handled. We are very happy with how it drives and have a plan to refine it even more before competition.

After a post finals marathon of fabrication and assembly, we have a running and driving car. Huge thanks to our dedicated team members that put in long hours over spring break to get us to our goal of running by the 28th. We are ready to begin our testing phase and to iron out all the little kinks with the OTR F23.

Cole has also been working on optimizing the fuel system to reduce clutter and free up space around the engine. All of Coles work has been great, and has pushed us towards a more clean and optimized Powertrain.
Cole Graduates in December with a degree in mechanical engineering. He has internship experience with Allied Systems in Sherwood Oregon. Cole has a passion for motorsports and cars, his hobbies include working on his 1969 Ford Mustang.
We are very lucky to have someone that is smart and talented like Cole on the team!
