Our team was recognized during the first football game for winning the Hunt-Winston Solar Challenge!

While many aspects of being on a solar racing team involves a lot of hard work, our team always seems to find spare time to have a little fun! Aside from goofing off during our free time, we also have tons of fun showing off our cars at events and meeting all of the people along the way!

Visit from Mrs. Hill's GT Class!

Wednesday, September 8, Mrs. Hill's sixth grade GT class came during our electricity period and viewed Sundancer and II! Her class has recently constructed toy-sized replicas of solar cars, which has generated tons of interest in solar energy throughout her class! Our team had an awesome time talking to her class and teaching them all about our cars!

Meeting With the Steering Committee!

Dr. Mobley speaking to the Steering Committee about possible fundraising ideas!

Our team recently met with the Steering Committee to discuss possible fundraising ideas for the 2011 World Solar Challenge in Australia! Dr. Mobley presented a slide show from this past years race, and we also introduced our new members Trey Franklin and Daniel Worthey to the committee! Team Sponsors Anita Ellison and Donna Turman also shared their individual experiences from the 2007 World Solar Challenge! (Including when the team covered Mrs. Turman's tent in sardines!)
