We had 14 cars ready when the green flag for the first race dropped.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #333333; font-family: 'Georgia','serif';\">We want to welcome Plant High School to the Electrathon family as they joined us for their first race. The team worked well together and came in with a 4th place in the first race and a 5th place in the second race for a 5th place overall in the High School Class. Their speed was slow compared to the other teams but the car and driver combo worked very well. They are going to work on gear ratios for the December race. When they get the right gear ratios watch out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #333333; font-family: 'Georgia','serif';\">It was good to see Drew and Pony from the Electrocutioners back at our races. Drew in the 72 car took over where he left off last season by taking both races in the <span style=\"font-family: 'Georgia','serif';\">Advanced Battery C<\/span>lass. Pony didn&#8217;t drive as she was the teams pit crew. University of South Florida and Pro EV had mechanical issues and finished 2nd and 3rd respectively. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #333333; font-family: 'Georgia','serif';\">Jim Robinson of the Silver Bullet Team car 94 made his return in the Open Class by taking 1st overall. Tiger Racing car 4 and Hillsborough Community College car 30 were both plagued with mechanical issues.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #333333; font-family: 'Georgia','serif';\"> In the High School Class there were 8 starters with Simmons cars 35 and 53 continuing their winning ways with a 1st and 2nd overall. Middleton High School cars 80 and 365 (the home team) took 3rd and 4th. The Mulberry High School team had the drive wheel fail during the second race to ruin their day. We don\u2019t\u00a0 expect that to slow this new Mulberry\u00a0team down as they are coming along in a strong fashion. Brandon High School cars 9 and 14 had multiple problems with both cars and finished in 6th and 8th. Team Sponsor Mark Knowlton continues with his team to drive forward at the races until their new car is completed and makes its debut at a race.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #333333; font-family: 'Georgia','serif';\">Our next race will be on the 1\/4 mile track at Lennard High School on December 9, 2017. We should see the new team from I Will Mentorship Foundation from Ft. Myers at our next race. Another new team, from Brooks DeBartolo Collegiate High School, had members at this race\u00a0to get a feel for what to expect and are making final preparations to join us in December.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333; font-family: 'Georgia','serif';\"><span style=\"color: #333333; font-family: 'Georgia','serif';\">We will be in the Longwood Christmas Parade on December 2, 2017, followed by a get together with Drew and Pony.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #333333; font-family: 'Georgia','serif';\"><span style=\"color: #333333; font-family: 'Georgia','serif';\">We want to give a shout out to Nicodemus Brothers for stepping up and taking Jim Truitt\u2019s place as our Inspector in the pits. Jim was out of town due to a death in his family; our thoughts are with his family during this time of loss.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333; font-family: 'Georgia','serif';\"><span style=\"color: #333333; font-family: 'Georgia','serif';\">We should have a larger field and some exciting racing in December. Hope to see EVERY TEAM there. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333; font-family: 'Georgia','serif';\"><span style=\"color: #333333; font-family: 'Georgia','serif';\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'Georgia','serif';\">Advance Battery Class \u2013 1<sup>st<\/sup> Place Electrocutioners car 72, 2<sup>nd<\/sup> Place University of South Florida car 132, 3<sup>rd<\/sup> Place Pro EV car 039<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333; font-family: 'Georgia','serif';\"><span style=\"color: #333333; font-family: 'Georgia','serif';\"><span style=\"color: #333333; font-family: 'Georgia','serif';\"><span style=\"color: #333333; font-family: 'Georgia','serif';\"><span style=\"color: #333333; font-family: 'Georgia','serif';\"><span style=\"color: #333333; font-family: 'Georgia','serif';\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'Georgia','serif';\">Open Class \u2013 1<sup>st<\/sup> Place Silver Bullet Racing car 94, 2<sup>nd<\/sup> Place Hillsborough Community College car 30, 3<sup>rd<\/sup> Place Tiger Racing car 4<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333; font-family: 'Georgia','serif';\"><span style=\"color: #333333; font-family: 'Georgia','serif';\"><span style=\"color: #333333; font-family: 'Georgia','serif';\"><span style=\"color: #333333; font-family: 'Georgia','serif';\"><span style=\"color: #333333; font-family: 'Georgia','serif';\"><span style=\"color: #333333; font-family: 'Georgia','serif';\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'Georgia','serif';\">High School Class \u2013 1<sup>st<\/sup> Place Simmons car 35, 2<sup>nd<\/sup> Place Simmons car 53, 3<sup>rd<\/sup> Place Middleton car 80, 4<sup>th<\/sup> Place Middleton car 365, 5<sup>th<\/sup> Place Plant car 98, 6<sup>th<\/sup> Place car Brandon car 14, 7<sup>th<\/sup> Place Mulberry car 38, 8<sup>th<\/sup> Place Brandon car 9<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/electrathonoftampabay.org\/www\/?attachment_id=3725\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3725\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3725 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/electrathonoftampabay.org\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/2017-2018-Race-3-Middleton-300x221.png\" alt=\"2017 2018 Race 3 Middleton\" width=\"300\" height=\"221\" srcset=\"http:\/\/electrathonoftampabay.org\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/2017-2018-Race-3-Middleton-300x221.png 300w, http:\/\/electrathonoftampabay.org\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/2017-2018-Race-3-Middleton.png 720w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our third race of the 2017 \u2013 2018 put another great day of racing in the books.
