Sending off the teams

This morning, CSRT members went up to Texas Motor Speedway to send off the other teams in the Hunt Winston Solar Car Challenge 2010. We were excited to see all the other cars and be able to see a part of the race first hand! It was a pleasure to meet all the representatives of the race and to discuss the other cars designs with team members from Mississippi, Florida, and other teams, including some from Texas itself.

The crowd gave the cars a rousing sendoff, and Coppell even recieved one round of applause for supporting the teams, although we were not able to race.

Meeting Update

This morning the team met to decide on a new game plan. We will now be racing on Friday, July 30 and Saturday, July 31.

The team has devised a schedule to complete the car and get it running by those dates. We are also working on communicating to all our supporters and sponsors the sad news. However, we are excited for next Saturday and Sunday and hope you will continue to support us.

Tomorrow the team is going to the Hunt Winston Race to see off all the other teams.

Race tomorrow!

Tomorrow is scrutineering for the race and we have had amazing progress with the car.

Yesterday night we drove it around the school and were able to test the u-turn radius, which was extremely good!

Now the team is working hard to get everything working and packed! We still have to mount the panels ASAP.

Stickers for the sponsors to go on the car are coming in today at some time and I am going to have to pick them up. They will go on the access panel to the electronics bay with a lot of prominence.
