Find the Limit Performance was established in 2023 by Brayden Skrine with the purpose of developing a racecar and educating others on how to do the same. His background in racecar development was started on the Formula SAE team at Colorado School of Mines, along with most other members. The process of building a fully-fledged racecar in spare time and on a limited budget is no easy feat, but it is one that we are passionate about, and one that we are passionate about sharing with others.
Brayden Skrine
Team Lead
Brayden graduated from the Colorado School of Mines in 2021 with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. While at Mines, he partcipated in Formula SAE for 4 years, eventually holding the position of Aerodynamics Lead.

Kyle Moosburger
Business Lead
Kyle started developing an obsession with speed from a young age starting with his dad's first car, a 1974 BWM 2002. He got an accounting degree from MSU Denver just to finance his crazy ideas. He traded his right arm for his dream car, a 1983 Audi Quattro. Car collector, mechanic if it has a motor, speed addict.

Alex Edwards
System Architect
Alex's motorsport background began on the Formula SAE team at Colorado School of Mines, where he served as the 2022 lead engineer. His expertise lies in CAD modeling and chassis design. He earned his degree in mechanical engineering and is now employed at Lockheed Martin Space, working as a structural design engineer. He is a fan of Formula 1 and technology.

Lee Begin
Aerodynamics Specialist
Lee's passion for cars started as a result of his daily ride to pre-school in the carseat of his dad's SAAB 900 Turbo. Throughout high school he worked odd jobs to scrape together $2500 to buy a '91 Mustang GT where he taught himself to "drive"... arguably. In his 4 years on the Mines formula team he was a driver, lead aerodynamics engineer, and rebuilt engines. He now works for Halliburton as a field engineer, and is always browsing Facebook and Craigslist for cars with the money he should probably put towards a down payment on a home.
