Floyd the Racer
from #GINNing Podcast · host Auburn University Samuel Ginn College of Engineering
Mechanical engineering sophomore Eliana Floyd grew up watching racing with her dad. She's been into cars for as long as she can remember. So, for her, just standing in pit lane would have made the hours in the Makerspace designing, cutting and clamping panels, bleeding brakes and slapping duct tape on the frame worth it. But to actually win a race — a national championship — at Talladega? That was more electric than the car itself.
