Highlighting some beautiful work done on our in-house Hurco CNC machining center.

Teamwork is a vital aspect of any project. Supermileage allows students to participate in real engineering scenarios, interacting with other groups to ensure system integration.

The engine dyno and EFI has been putting in the hours tuning prepping our modified Briggs and Stratton units. Next step: getting everything on the car and going for a hoon!

Special shout-out to Montague Machine in Turners Falls, Massachusetts (montaguemachine.com) for donating and center-boring a nice piece of cast iron for the team. We are hard at work over winter break machining this into a new sleeve for our Briggs & Stratton #smv engine. Thanks for the support!

Our MinuteFund is up and running, along with a video about the team!! We are very excited about it and we hope you are too. As you may know, our team is almost entirely funded by donations. Help us represent UMass Amherst and University of Massachusetts Amherst College of Engineering at the Society of Automotive Engineers supermileage competition!

We had a great time on WMUA 91.1 FM with OLIO media yesterday! Thank you to everyone that tuned in. We’ll let you know when it’s put online!

After shooting a promotional video on campus, some members of our pose team with the car outside Marston Hall, the College of Engineering HQ here at UMass.

Plenty of supplies to go around. Donations like these keep the shop moving and allow us to focus the on improving performance. Thank you!

If you (or your company) would like to be involved with the team, please contact us via Instagram or Facebook.

Every team starts out with the same B&S Junior 206 engine with freedom to modify the it within the SAE rules and regulations.

UMass SMV revolves around teamwork. From developing the body and engines to cleaning the shop, we work together to obtain the best results. We’re lucky to have such a great group this year!
