October 3, 2020 HCC Race

Electrathon of Tampa Bay/Electrathon of Florida held the second event of the 2020-2021 race season on October 3, 2020 at Hillsborough Community College (HCC) in Brandon Florida.

We thank Hillsborough Community College Administration and Electrathon Team for hosting our second race of the season, without you we would not have had another great day of STEM competition.

Our Race Steward required a picture of all the drivers showing up prior to/on time for the drivers meeting, he believes that is a first in the history of our organization.

Mike Frederick (Race Steward) lined up the cars for the first race.
During the first race the HCC team struggled with their older batteries that seem to keep them from performing to their cars ability. Team USF had a few spokes on their wheel motor let go during the first race causing them to hit the pits for some repairs

Race 1 leaders in each division were:

Plant City High School car 210 with 87 completed laps

Tiger Racing car 4 with 102 completed laps in the open division

USF car 48 with 63 completed laps in the advanced battery division

The second race of the day went well for most teams, HCC continued to have battery issues, Silver Bullet had throttle issues in the first few laps of the race, and USF made it through the entire race with more spoke issues that gave the driver a bumpy ride for quite a few laps.

Race 2 leaders in each division were:

Plant City High School car 210 with 101 completed laps

Tiger Racing car 4 with 101 completed laps in the open division

USF car 48 with 100 competed laps in the advanced battery division
