The Georgia Tech team constantly wows us with home-brewed turbos, reengineered suspensions and yards of custom fab work. Their roots are a bit more humble. At the $2004 Challenge, Andrew Sullivan and a crew of Georgia Tech classmates arrived with a Volkswagen Golf GTI sporting just bolt-on suspension upgrades, a lightened flywheel and a four-puck racing clutch. Perhaps the custom anti-roll bar was a sign of things to come.
Today the school’s Challenge efforts are fielded by a dedicated club, Wreck Racing. The team receives support from the school, too, and benefits include dedicated workspace as well as a truck and trailer.

They actually have that info on a sweatshirt. (Well, the cars, not the podiums.)
In reply to David S. Wallens :
That sweater predates the Conques4.
An active member should be able to count trophies, they should all be at the shop somewhere.
9 cars including this year's Chysler Conquest/Audi S4.
I worked on the V8 Miata and MG Midget in my time there, which were some of my best college memories. Almost as good as beating them years later as an alumni with a full-time job.

I didn't realize you had been there. That's pretty awesome!
