Plant City High School January 8 2022

We held the first race in the year 2022 at Plant City High School. We thank PCHS Electrathon Sponsor David Kocher, his team and Administration for hosting our event.

As teams arrived for the fun filled day of STEM Electrathon Racing the final touches were being done to the course. A total of twelve cars arrived for this race day.

Teams lined up for the first racenot all the cars took off when the green flag dropped. A couple cars had to reset their shut off switch and off they went.

The course was challenging for the number of cars we had. We may split up the cars in the future at this venue and run more races safely.
