Hello everyone

My name is John.  I'm part of a student project team called Buckeye Current at the Ohio State University.  We build electric motorcycles and race them in tournaments around the world.  Last year we finished 3rd in the 2013 Isle of Man TT Zero Race.  We are also the first collegiate team to average 90 miles per hour (145 km/h) around the Isle of Man.

This year, we plan on making our own fairings.  The team doesn't have enough money for carbon fibre, so we will be using glass fibre.  This will be a learning experience for the whole team because none of us have every used glass fibre or carbon fibre.  I hope you guys will be able to help us out.  We plan on documenting the whole process for future team members, and we would be happy to post our final results to the forum at the end of the year.

Best regards,
John

Hi!
That is really awesome, I've heard about Isle of Man races. They are quiet deadly as far as I know, so be maybe use kevlar instead of glass and maybe cf ribs as a reinforcement. I would be glad, if could help in any way so feel free to ask ;D.
Bye
