We received the sad news this morning that @prISUmofficial is withdrawing from #ASC2022 due to motor/controller issues that were not able to be resolved in time to continue the tour.

Yesterday the team traveled from Ames, IA to Topeka, KS. After a few stops, we made it to the Heartland Motorsports Park for race. Today is the first day of scrutineering. Wish us luck! Stay tuned for updates at the end of the day.

Today we would like to give Ames Ford a huge thank you for all of the help and support they have given to us over the years. A few weeks ago, we drove down to Ames Ford to get a new alignment on the tires. This past weekend we drove about a total of 95 miles! Thank you Ames Ford!

Yesterday we had an amazing opportunity to do testing at the Ames Municipal Airport! It was an exciting day for the team, as we nearly drove 100 miles yesterday between the airport and on the streets. Thank you to the Ames Municipal Airport for letting us use their taxi way!

Unfortunately, PrISUm was not able to qualify for ASC 2021. However, we still placed 3rd out of the cruiser teams, and earned our first trophy in several years! Stay tuned to see what this car is truly capable of, with a little bit more TLC.

Exciting day today! PrISUm qualified for the track rayce at about 3 today, and got on the track ASAP. However, after two successful laps, a motor controller failed, and a phase was shorted to ground. We diagnosed the problem, and plan to continue raycing tomorrow!

Hello! Yesterday, our team was running the slalom test in dynamics, when we had a wheel nut and wheel pop off our car. We've put spares on the car, and spent today continuing to try to pass dynamic scrutineering. Were confident we'll still be able to get out on the track.
