The last race of the 2020-2021 Race Season was held on May 1st at Plant City High School (PCHS). We thank PCHS Electrathon Sponsor David Kocher, his team members and the administration for hosting our last race.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We had eleven cars arrive for the day of racing from the Tampa Bay area, Titusville, Davie and Hialeah Florida. One of the team\u2019s drivers (Jerry) flew in from Indiana for the race, thanks Jerry.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Our regular Race Steward Mike Frederick could not make it so we had a past team captain\/driver Ambur (graduate of Brooks DeBartolo) take on the challenge and she did well.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Teams lined up for the first race and off they went.

It was team Fortuna that jumped up and did a 25.204 lap for the best lap on the course for the day.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Plant City HS 208 was only able to finish half the race as their battery draw caused them to pit until next race.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The teams lined up their cars for the second race, and off they went when the green flag dropped.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Pro EV came around the last turn and his front right tire said no more and Cliff pulled into the infield and called it a day.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Plant City 208 only lasted half the race, we are sure that the car issues will get worked out and they will be ready for next season.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Mulberry popped their left front tire and stopped in the infield, turned the car on its side, changed it and back on the track they went.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Team Titans popped a tire and called it a day after 38 minutes of racing.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Team Mulberry came around the last turn and popped another tire causing them to call it a day.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Team Fortuna kept communicating with their pit crew about their car and did well for 50 minutes and then had to pit.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
