WOW, was that fun! We are pleased to report back that the races were quite a success. On Monday we started off with test laps where teams were given the opportunity to make adjustments to their vehicles. After a few minor adjustments, we had the two cars dialed in right where we wanted them and proceeded with the timed trials for the remainder of the day Monday. Tuesday had originally been designated as an entire day to run timed trials, but with the early morning rain, teams chose to take it easy and just run test laps until the track dried out. Timing resumed around 10:00 as temperatures climbed into the 80s. The track heated up and the tires became sticky, improving our lap times significantly. We are proud to announce that our newest addition to the lineup, the black s66 car clinched the first place position. We are all very proud of our team for putting together such a fantastic car, though we were not alone. All of our sponsors play a vital role in the progress and completion of our vehicles and we cannot thank them enough. This opportunity has provided students with tools and lessons that are unattainable from simply sitting in a classroom.

Five days to go and these cars are ready! We would like to thank all of our sponsors for generously donating time, resources, and money to get us to where we are.
Do not forget to stop out by us at the Road America Motorplex next Monday and Tuesday, the 15th and 16th. It will be a great day for some racing and grilling out. The official schedule hasn't been released, and once that is available we will be sure to pass that along. Only 12 days remain until the big race day is here! We are in the process of doing final preparations, and would like to take a second to thank the Van Horn Automotive Group for the donation of our paint jobs. They're sure to set us apart from the rest of out competition. Speaking up setting ourselves apart, we have mounted our Kohler engine and are ready to leave everyone in the dust!
Make sure to follow along with us as we count down to race day. Once the race day schedule of events is available, we will update everyone with that information! |
