One Day for UK is here, we need your help to reach our $2,500 fundraising goal so we can meet the costs for FSGP and ASC this summer! Just as a reminder that we will be sending out stickers and 3D printed Gato VI's for various donation tiers to show our thanks! #uky #kentucky

Today is a special day! Why you may ask? We managed to find TWO (yes that’s 2 whole people) that were willing to come out of their engineering hiding hole to come talk to you. Why don’t you come give these brave and valiant souls a visit at the Student Center Ballroom before 5PM.

We did it!! We officially placed FIRST at #FSGP2021! Lots of work went into this car and race but it has certainly paid off! We couldn't be happier with Gato Del Sol VI, it's drivers, and the amazing team behind it. Next up is #ASC2021! Wish us luck!!
