This show was held on campus in front of the Center for Automotive Research, home of 6 different student engineering projects, all very accomplished, with 3 #1 projects, 2 in the USA and 1 in the world.
My X1/9 was parked amidst a 1963 TRS, nice Porsche, new ZL1 Camaro, Lamborghini Huracan, 2018 Corvette Stingray - one of the first 2018s produced, and an older Vette. 2,000HP amongst them, X not counting for many. The 1st OSU student project below has 3,000HP. Camaro was Best Muscle Car, Huracan was Best Exotic, and surprise - X1/9 was Best Import.
1) Venturi Buckeye Bullet 3 - 3,000 HP and holds land speed record of 341.264 mph for an electric vehicle. The vehicle was in Utah at the Bonneville Salt Flats attempting to break 400 mph this year, but the rains came after an early practice run.
2) Buckeye Current - winner of 2017 Pikes Peak Hill Climb for an electric motorcycle, 28th place overall. Averaged 65.9 mph, fastest non-electric motorcycle was 73.2 mph. They also have run in the Isle of Man TT Zero Race.
3) EcoCar - 340V Li-Ion Hybrid Camaro, 1st place 3rd year in a row.
Note electric posts for electric vehicles.
Best of Show and People's Choice - 1963 TR3
Best Antique - 1953 Ford
And if there would have been a limbo contest, I don't believe the X would have won.
