We held our STEM Electrathon Event at Lyman High School on Saturday, December 13th.
We got a late start setting up as the railroad tracks on Ronald Reagan Blvd/427 had the arms down from 530am to 615am. Thank you CSX for the delay.
We thank everyone for their help getting set up before the race and cleaned up after the race.
We thank David Moye and Lyman HS Administration for hosting the event.
We thank David Moye for the donuts that gave us the energy for the rest of the day.
The teams arrived, got their pit areas set up so Mike Ralph could inspect their car(s).
We welcome the teams from Environmental Research Institute (Terrawolves) and Miami Coral Park (Ramtech). Hope to see them at more races in the future.
Teams met with Race Officials for the drivers meeting.
Our first race of the day had 11 cars line up.
The green flag dropped, and teams found their path on the course.
A few teams had issues with their cars but did not give up; they repaired them and got back into the race.
When the checkered flag dropped it was:

1st Place Terrawolves car 70 with 85 laps
2nd Place Lyman car 94 with 81 laps

During this race we had transmitter issues on KRAI car 555 and Tiger Racing car 4. Computer generated scoring was adjusted to give each team their missed laps due to battery issues on unit.
In between races teams worked on their cars and had lunch.

The teams made sure to challenge each other to see who could handle the heat. Teams had car battery, tire, and other issues during the race.
