BYU Society of Physics Students

Opening Social 2009

Our opening social was quite a hit. We had a decent turnout (over 75 people), fun festivities, and good food. Below you will find pictures from the activity, a list of cars that won awards, and a table listing the names and times of the fastest cars.
