Our last STEM Electrathon Race of the 2021-2022 Season was held on May 7th. We thank Mulberry HS Electrathon Sponsor Todd Thuma, his students and Administration for hosting our event. We had a new course and fresh payment for the teams to enjoy.<\/p>\n

We welcome back Ryno Racing (Ryan Norden) and his new all wheel steering Electrathon\"\"<\/a>
\nAs the teams prepared their cars for the last event of the season others continued to watch the sky and forecasts. We had 11 cars line up for the first race of the day\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>When the green flag dropped, Kinetic Industries car 99 had an electrical issue and had to return to the pits\"\"<\/a>Teams took it easy on the new course for a few laps before they found their line and made the race interesting\"\"<\/a>Ryno Racings new car hit the pits after 12 laps and did not return. Plant City car 210 had to pit for a flat tire giving the others a chance to catch up in laps. They got the tire replaced and returned to the track. <\/p>\n

The weather alerts came in stating rain and possible lightning was on its way. After 50 minutes of racing, the race was called for safety reasons due to the lightning and the start of rain which turned into a downpour.<\/p>\n

At the end of the first race, it was:<\/p>\n

The fastest lap in the first race was completed by J & S Racing car 128 with a 39.708 lap. \"\"<\/a>As the lightening and rain continued, Todd took us on a tour of their new school and his classroom\/lab that was impressive. <\/p>\n

The sun came out and dried most of the course before the second race line up. We had 10 cars line up for the second race as Kinetic Industries car 99 did not return to race. \"\"<\/a> Ryno Racing car 360 completed 24 laps and called it a day. <\/p>\n

The high school teams went at it to see who would finish the day in first place; all three cars gave it their all until Mulberry car 38 started having sounds from their rear wheel and slowed down so they could finish the race.<\/p>\n

Tiger Racing car 4, Kinetic Industries car 19 and Silver Bullet car 94 went at it and finished with 1 lap and less time deciding the race results for the Open Class.<\/p>\n

Pro EV car 39 put on a great race against Fortuna car 444 until Pro EV had a chain issue and had to pit giving Fortuna a chance to catch up in laps.<\/p>\n
