SC Auto Summit
Visit our booth as we highlight our IDEA Racing CO2 Dragster initiative.
Bolstering community engagement, the SME Upstate Chapter is embarking on a journey to bring the experience of CO2 dragster racing to South Carolina’s students and also industry technical professionals. Schools around the world are using a form of this dragster program to educate, excite, and motivate. CO2 racing in this form has had tremendous growth around the world with formal championships being held annually through F1 & TSA(Technical School Alliance).
This chapter is developing this program to foster collaborations between manufacturers, academia, professionals, and students. These collaborations will provide an environment of fun, education, and fellowship that is lacking in the area.
