Those first three are Formula SAE cars... I'm in the process of building an SAE Formula Hybrid at school.
This is me driving last year's car:

Those are nationally prepped A-Mod cars, not FSAE (though FSAE cars are in A-Mod).
I've never seen an FSAE car with that much wing on it lol.
Top A-Mod cars' data logging were rumored to clock them at triple figures at Nationals last year (omg)
EDIT: Embry Riddle huh? My brother goes there
I was just down there in January for the 24 Hours of Daytona

100mph+ autocrossing?! Holy s***!
Wow, that's a great looking FSAE car.
I loved FSAE when I was in college. We didn't do too well at competition- the fuel ate through our fuel line during the endurance competition and we were done. But we fixed it after we got back and entered it a street autox through the downtown street of Chyenne, Wyoming. It's the coolest feeling in the world to blast down the street with the street lights still cycling and not caring. They brought in concrete K-rails to keep the cars off the sidewalk, so there are people walking down the sidewalk going to get a bagel as you negotiate a slalom in full-tilt-booge mode about 25 feet away from them. Pure awesomeness at its best!
I'd just about drive to Wyoming, hauling all my autocross gear, just for that experience! That sounds ******* AWESOME!!
Any pictures of that? This is the Awesome Motorsports Pictures thread, after all?
No, unfortunately. I was there with 2 other guys from the FSAE team and we were non-stop busy during the whole event. And this was back in 2001 and none of us had a camera worth half a crap.
And I think that the event has since been permanently cancelled. It was a HUGE liability. Though I've heard a town in Nebraska, Hastings maybe, holds one.
You want FSAE pics? Check these out. This is my car that me and 7 other people built (with some support from other students) back in 2001. The car served as a serious work-horse in the following years for driver training and testing. Here are some pics from its final drive day in the fall of 2006:
Here are the skid marks left behind by an unexpirienced driver who ignored the slaloms and gates set up to keep speeds in check to feed his "need for speed":
In the above picture, take note of the tree in the parking lot planter thing.
Notice part of the tree here?
Now I wasn't there, but I was told that he hit this curb, jumped over it and finally came to rest in the tree. The carbon fiber monocoque is destroyed. The wheels are dented badly.
Here you can see the steering rack had been punched through the floor pan and into the cockpit from the impact:
Here's an outside view of the pedal box:
Here's what left of the car back in the race shop:
I saw the car about a year ago. It's sitting in the race shop getting parts plucked off of it to keep the rest of the racecar fleet running to support more driver training. Pretty sad. I spent many sleepless nights building that car.

Only because the guys that built this car had graduated and moved away. But yes, he was a little sore but the chassis did a good job of protecting him.

This is me during the only run I got before we canceled the rest of our event yesterday. 2 tornadoes were in the general area along with torrential rain and lightning.
Here's an example of the suffering our cones and course workers got to experience:
