Our last race of the season is approaching quickly, this year the course will be more challenging than others that we have had at this event. We have 12 teams signed up and a total of 19 cars expected to be lined up when the green flag drops for the first race to begin. We will require some flag assistance so please check in with Mike Frederick (Race Steward). When the race day is over, we will present the awards for this race and then we will have our end of the year awards ceremony.

Electrathon of Tampa Bay had a good showing at this race in Alabama. Middleton High School had three cars in the High School Division, University of South Florida and Pro EV had cars in the Advanced Battery Division and Tiger Racing was in the Open Division.

Electrathon of Tampa Bay will have High School, Open and Experimental Battery Division teams represent our group at this out of state race in Alabama. Our teams have been working on their cars so that they can compete and bring home an out of state trophy. ETO will hand out flyers to others teams at this race to attract interest in our website and races. This is a great opportunity for our teams to show others what Electrathon of Tampa Bay is all about.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, Don Morgan had to cancel the last Run for the Peaches Race at Brooks County High School. Don Morgan retires this year and does not know what the future holds for his high school Electrathon team. We are excited to here that Don was nominated and chosen Vice President of Electrathon America. We support and wish Don success in not only his retirement but in his new position with EA. Here are a few pictures from an earlier Run for the Peaches Race.

Electrathon of Tampa Bay will have teams attend this out of state race in Quitman Georgia. We are hoping to bring interest to our website and have other teams join us at our races.

We posted our season points and had quite a few members inquire about their total points for the season. The maximum points for placing first at every race after eight race days would be 480 points, some teams had in excess of that amount. Here are the correct season points after eight race days, a total of 16 races.

Electrathon Teams, please make sure to pre-register your teams for this race as it is required by our host. You can click on this link to register.
