The Chemical Engineering Car Competition with their car, "Smokey's Last Ride".  Priming the fuel cell before the competition.  At the starting line.  The team finished fourth, qualifying for the National competition.  The team got ready for the Dodgeball Tournament.  Primed and ready to go.  The action was too fast for the camera. (We got spanked in the first round, by the eventual winner of the tournament, Clemson.)  Nathan and Dr. Keffer were ready for the banquet, wearing matching shoes.  Our Chem-E car team turn out to be sharp looking gents.  Then it was time for outdoor, night time Sumo wrestling. Dr. Keffer needed some help putting on the suit.  His opponent, Kristen.  The referee, Alex.  The lumbering giants clash.  Dr. Keffer got the worst of it.  It was only by threatening Kristen's grade in ChE 310 that he eventually brought Kristen to the ground.  For the next bout, Travis suited up.  His opponent, Dustin, chanted a Sumo song to get him in the right spirit.  They clashed.  And took out the referee.  There's something wrong with this.  Eventually, they were both down for the count.  For the third and final bout, Alex needed some help getting his suit on.  Nathan seemed to manage all right.  Look at that physique!  Alex is looking pretty good himself.  Dr. Keffer asks for a good, clean fight.  Take down!  Nathan taunts Alex, who is slow to get up.  At the end of the bout, Alex is a little worse for the wear. |
