Our team visiting with Dr. Mobley after the meeting!



On February 20, our team traveled to ICC in Fulton to give a presentation to the Delta Kappa Gamma sorority! It is an organization of teachers who meet throughout the year trying to make a difference in our schools. During the meeting we showed a PowerPoint of our team and cars and explained what our team does. We would like to thank Dr. Mobley for inviting us to come and it was great to see you again! We would also like to thank everyone who prepared the great meal that was provided! We thoroughly enjoyed coming and being of part of the meeting!

Thank You!!

We would like to thank all of our sponsors for everything they've done to help us become successful. We know we wouldn't have gotten to this level without everyone's support.


We are fortunate to bring home several 1st place trophies again this year. The Lady Racers placed 1st in two of the daily races as well as 1st overall in our division. Sundancer I placed 1st each day and 1st in their division.


We are en route to Houston, but are stopping now at Cracker Barrel in Tyler, TX. Our team is already busy making plans for next year's cross country race to Los Angeles.

Final Day!!

Today is the fourth and final day of our solar car adventure here in Dallas! Our guys placed first in their division yesterday, but unfortunately the girls placed second for Day Three . Both of the cars are still in first for the entire race with Sundancer having 317 total laps and Sundancer II having 273! The winners of the overall race will be announced to night at the closing banquet and we will be sure to let everyone know the outcome as soon as we find out!
