A stop along the way
With 2 weeks between the Champ Car Atlantic race in San Jose and in Denver during August of the 2006 season, Gelles Racing made arrangements to leave the trucks and racecars at the CSU MERC rather than trailering all the way back to Maryland only to turn around to come back to Denver. During the week prior to the Denver Grand Prix, Gelles team members arrived at the Motorsport Engineering Research Center to prepare the Formula BMW's.

Grad students help the team prepare the F-BMW's


A chance for CSU Grad Students to help: While the Gelles Racing team was preparing the Formula BMW's for the Denver Grand Prix, many of the CSU Motorsport
Engineering Graduate students had the opportunity to help out. The F-BMW's seemed right at home in to the MERC race bays and there was plenty of opportunity to gain some hands-on experience.
