General Details
FSGP will be a week long competition from Friday July 12th until July 18th. Competition will include one day for load in, three days of scrutineering, and three days of racing. Following the week of FSGP many teams will compete in the cross country race called ASC that we will not be competing. However, we will still be going to display day in Nashville Tennessee. Display day is exactly what it sounds like. During the day, all of the cars competing in ASC will be parked and displayed for all to see and serves as a good day to go around and talk with all the teams regarding their design choices and just generally to get to know a lot of other solar car teams. We will only be staying for part of the day as we will be traveling all the way back to Austin on the 19th.

As for the members coming by flight, Please add your flight times here. Some of you are coming with family and some of you are planning on driving yourselves, but having all the flight times will be super helpful in coordinating rides, both for those of you already with cars and for those without. For those without cars, the vans will come down and pick you all up in groups.
