We hosted the 2023 Pittsburgh Shootout at Pittsburgh International Race Complex this past Saturday. For the first time we ran two dynamic events (Skidpad and Autocross) and welcomed 30 teams from across the US, Canada, and Mexico to compete.

I want to take some time to congratulate our winners and thank our sponsors.

First, our sponsors:
Ansys for their donation of a pallet of water, Gatorade, and sunglasses to keep the students cool and fresh all day
Gecko Robotics, Inc. for sponsoring the Autocross and Skidpad dynamic events, enabling us to rent a second timing system and purchase new EZ up tents to keep our timers shaded
NASCAR for donating two lithium fire blankets for first responders to contain an EV battery fire
Tronix3D for the absolutely beautiful Autocross and Skidpad trophies
ARCR/Amick Associates, Inc for their donation to fund the podium

Congratulations to our winners in the IC class:
1. Illini
2. Ohio State
3. Waterloo

and to our winners in the EV class:
1. MRacing
2. RIT
3. Carnegie Mellon

and as a proud alumna (x2!), to our cone killers:
1. Wayne State
2. Pitt
3. Oakland

Can't wait to announce our plans for 2024 and beyond. Stay tuned!
