The Stanford Racing Boosters are a group of students united in support of the world-champion autonomous vehicle "Stanley" and the Stanford Racing Team, winners of the DARPA Grand Challenge.



The Stanford Racing team has invited us to watch Stanley in action! In gratitude for all our support over the years, Stanford Racing has arranged an evening of fun and excitement for us on Friday, April 28th, at 6PM at the Stanford Racing compound. They won't tell us exactly where we're going yet, just that we'll need our own transportation and that there should be 4 or 5 people per car to maximize participation. Also, participants should expect to return to campus around midday Saturday.

Stanford Racing has asked us to limit participation to about 20 car-loads of people, so in anticipation of high demand we will need all prospective groups to complete our online application. Submit your application by Monday, April 24!


On March 28, PBS broadcast a fantastic episode of Nova entitled "The Great Robot Race," with an in-depth look at Stanley and the Stanford Racing team! If you missed our Nova-watching party on Tuesday night, don't worry -- PBS has posted the entire show online! On PBS.org, you can watch the show by chapter (be sure to watch chapters 4, 6, and 7), and you can also read their pre-GC interview with Dr. Thrun.
