Maule Sponsor Visit
As part of its yearly round of
sponsor visits, the Formula team recently made the trek out
to Moultrie, GA to visit our friends at Maule Air, who
donate tubing and sheet metal to be used in constructing our
frame and other chassis components. Rob, Nate, and Elliot
took the new truck on its first long distance trip to show
Brent and David Maule the new car.
As usual, they gave the boys the grand tour of the
facilities. Maule manufactures and sells worldwide
single-engine aircraft. What makes it especially interesting
for us is to see some of the same operations that we perform
done on a much larger scale. This is especially true in the
area of frame fabrication.
After the tour there was the obligatory driving demonstration. The
on-site airfield is the perfect venue for such a show and
Rob made use of the opportunity to show off the car’s
performance ability. After a few burnouts, donuts, and
acceleration runs Brent and David their turn in the driver’s
seat. Like most
 new drivers they were apprehensive at first
but quickly got the hang of it and we hope they had a blast.
We look forward to the Maule trip every year and we thank
Brent and David for always welcoming us back, as well as for
their very faithful generosity. Thanks guys! We hope to see
you on campus for the Sponsor Appreciation Day!
