Below is something for the racing community, the biannual call for papers for SAE's Motorsports Engineering Conference, being held at Concord, NC.

The conference is mostly go-fast stuff, but, as usual, there is a significant section on safety. We intend to submit at least one abstract and now is a good time to throw out ideas for other papers. We'd be happy to help if there is an idea someone wants tested or presented.

Have a great weekend.
