We held our last STEM Electrathon Event for the 2023-2024 race seasons at Mulberry High School on Saturday, May 11th.<\/p>\n

We thank Mulberry HS Sponsor Todd Thuma, his team and MHS Administration for hosting our event.<\/p>\n

We welcome back the Lyman High School Team.\"\"<\/a> The pit area was full of energy as teams got ready for the last race of the season.\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> We attached our normal receiver strand for scoring to the suspension tower that Ken Fiallos designed\/built to test its ability during a normal race day. (It performed well) \"\"<\/a> The teams met with our Race Officials for instructions, flag identification and safety protocols. \"\"<\/a> The track opened for 30 minutes so that drivers could run practice laps.<\/p>\n

The teams lined up for the first race, USF car 132 had a last-minute issue and did not make lineup. Silver Bullet car 94 had a rear wheel issue and started later. Tiger racing car 4 got in the lineup and their rear tire lost its bead sending them to the pits. \"\"<\/a> The green flag dropped and off they went. During the race S & J Racing had a few issues come up that sent them into the pits and then back to racing they went.<\/p>\n
