We held our STEM Electrathon Event at Plant City High School on Saturday, November 12, 2022.<\/p>\n

We thank Plant City High School for hosting our event.<\/p>\n

We were not sure if this race was going to take place as hurricane Nicole came through Florida just a few days earlier.<\/p>\n

Our Race Steward Mike Frederick held the drivers meeting. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As the teams lined up their cars for the first race, 11 cars were ready to compete \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The green flag dropped started the first race and all 11 cars started their one-hour race. The race went very well, and drivers used their mirrors on this track.<\/p>\n

When the checkered flag dropped, ending the first race, the results were:

Between races the teams made adjustments to their cars, changed tires and got some lunch.<\/p>\n

Once again, 11 cars lined up for the second race \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The green flag dropped, and the teams started the fun filled second race full of exciting things to watch.<\/p>\n

Pro EV car 39 had an issue and had to pit.<\/p>\n

Plant City car 83 went into turn one and did not make the entire turn causing them to strike the curbing ending their day of racing. The driver was a little banged up but is okay. <\/p>\n

Mulberry car 38 had the front tire go down causing them to pit.<\/p>\n

Kinetic Industries car 19 ran the first race and decided not to change their battery to see if they could get two races out of one set of batteries. Everything was going well until they blew the front tire and decided to call it a day.<\/p>\n

Mulberry car 100 blew a tire and changed it to find that it blew again as soon as they rolled the car to get back on the track.<\/p>\n

Middleton car 133 blew a tire, changed it and got back into the race.<\/p>\n
