GRM $2007 "Sucker Vette" being auctioned for charity---United Way
I know most everyone on here has heard of the "Sucker Vette" that the Proctor and Gamble engineers built for the $2007 Challenge that Grass Roots Motorsports conducts every year. I just wanted to make sure that everyone knows that it is currently being auctioned off for charity ( The United Way of Cincinnati ) on e-bay.
I should have posted this sooner , but was unable due to being in California late last week and over the weekend racing cars (or trying to).
I know that this is against the forum rules, but I am defineatly a rebel and it is for a good cause.

Nice! Glad to hear that there was some tag-team action on the project. Thankfully my computer has a parental control feature on it so I couldn't see any of the vids.

I thought that NASA had rules against "movable" aero, that's how they outlawed the sucker car, saying the fan was a movable aerodynamic device.

I think that the car was sold to some museum for charity and then actually the P&G team bought it back for a marketing recruitment tool for young engineering students...
That car was a complete trip......

Check out the dust plume at 3:35. It would be very popular for cleaning up the track after some dork has kicked dirt all over it. OTOH everyone behind it would get smashed windscreens from the rock storm.
