Snowmobiles on Display

Those who completed the Endurance Run as part of the SAE Snowmobile Challenge had the opportunity to showcase their snowmobile yesterday at the Copper Country Mall. Companies from all over the country came to see their work and speak to the students about the possibility of future employment. Christa Zimmerman, a recruiter from the Maclean-Fogg company, says she enjoys listening to the students about their designs.

Some students were unconventional with their ideas like Sherwood McKinnis from North Dakota State University who is one of two teams using diesel feul and based on their first-place finish in terms of fuel mileage, he is very happy with the results so far.

Michigan Tech had a less than stellar performace in the Endurance Run but Cody Fackender still remains optimistic.

The competition will commence on Saturday with courses that test things like acceleration and handling.
