University of Michigan Solar Car

Wolverine Machine was proud to be a repeat sponsor for the University of Michigan's Solar Car Team. We are currently in the process of water jet cutting some parts to be used for this year's car. See the testimonial below and some pictures of our past work with the Solar Car Team.

"The U of M Solar Car Team is excited to be in cooperation with Wolverine Machine again. In 2009 Wolverine helped us build a 1st prize car for the American Solar Challenge. This year we are trying to take first prize at the World Solar Challenge and are well on our way. Having high quality parts is a must to win the W.S.C. and we have our sponsors to thank. Without the support of our sponsors, especially our local sponsors we have been able to be a top competitor in the world, so we are thankful Holly is only a short drive away from Ann Arbor."

Michigan State Formula Racing Team

 Wolverine Machine was proud to sponsor the Michigan State Formula Racing Team this year. We manufactured parts on our water jet machine that were used mainly for the chassis. The team took some of their cars to this year's Detroit Auto Show. See the testimonial and pictures below.





"The Michigan State Formula Racing Team is a student run organization that designs, builds, and races a small, open-wheeled race car throughout the year. We take pride in running our organization as professionally and efficiently as possible, with the goal of creating the best racing car we can. Being a non-profit organization, we rely completely on our sponsors in order to obtain and machine all the parts required to build a functioning race car. Wolverine Machine supported our team this year by helping us water-jet our chassis inserts that are an integral part of the structure of our car. Helping us machine these parts saved us an enormous amount of time because we would have had to hand mill each part ourselves, which would have taken multiple days. Working with Wolverine Machine was quick, efficient, and we look forward to our future encounters with them because they were so helpful and so fast."
