[Buckeye Bullet 2 Update] Buckeye Bullet 2 Student Blog

Dear Supporters of the Buckeye Bullet Program,

We've been getting plenty of questions about how the Buckeye Bullet 2 is coming along, as we're getting ready to race on the salt flats in August for speed week, so I've decided I would take a few minutes periodically to keep everyone updated on where we are with the car. We thought it would also be nice to have a log of what we're doing here on a day to day basis in the shop to have everything up and running. More of a build blog, if you will. You can expect plenty of photos and videos, for those of you who would prefer to see our progress instead of reading about it.  I won't send any more messages about it, but the blog will continue to be updated with our progress.  Enjoy!
Check out the BB2 build blog at: http://buckeyebullet2.blogspot.com/

Sincerely,
Kevin Ponziani
