On March 27, 2018, Aditya from the USF Team, Brady and Mike from the Titan Team along with Fredi and Charlie represented ETO at the Synapse Innovation Summit that was held at Amalie Arena in Tampa. Members of various organizations were on hand with displays and demonstrations for those attending the event. We had a great day and handed out a number of flyers and answered many questions, hopefully we will attract more teams and sponsors from this event.

On Wednesday, March 21, 2018, the USF and Titan Teams represented ETO at the Mac Dill Air Force Base STEM Event in Tampa attracting more interest and teams to ETO.

On March 3, 2018 our USF Team displayed their Electrathon Car with some of the big boys and classics. Visitors to the Brandon Auto Mall were given information and flyers on ETO and invited to check out our website for race schedules. Thank You, USF Team for another great showing of our organization.

A big thank you to Executive Board Interns Brady Weber and Nicodemus Brothers for representing ETO at this STEM event. Our team met with guests at this event, answered questions and displayed the Titan car 242. Brady and Nicodemus met with Pinellas County Schools K-12 STEM Specialist Laura Spence and folks from Duke Energy. We will be forwarding information about our organization to them so we may bring our neighboring county on board with Electrathon racing.

The USF race is just days away, everyone should be finishing up last minute prep on their cars. This is our longest running race, this year celebrating 10 years; we will have our largest field for the race with 21 cars pre-registered.

A few reminders and special interest items:

Pit space will be tight so get there early There should be one vehicle OR trailer per team in the pits Overflow vehicles will be parked off course Don’t wait till race day to put your car together. It really slows down the inspections. There will be a meeting of teams that have not raced with ETO at USF prior to the race New teams should plan to get in practice laps prior to the actual race

ETO will be doing course set up Friday at 5 P.M. and finishing up the small details on Saturday morning starting at 6 A.M.

Weather looks good for Saturday and we look forward to our best race day ever…
