Great video- u00a0I did a stop action on this video to see the very first Michigan car that was in this race. u00a0I was the U of M engineering recruiter for Amoco Oil for several years and convinced Amoco to provide a $5,000 check to support this effort (can see the Amoco Oil logo on the first car). u00a0And you have made the most of this competition. u00a0No surprise. Well done Wolverine engineers!nSteve HoldawaynBSME, Michigan 1977
