This is my second car, I built one last year as a junior and am now making another as a senior. So far it has been doing very well in the test drives. I am looking forward to seeing it race.

Looks good August.  Looking forward to seeing your car in competition on March, 5th at Mount Hood Community College.  I'm positive I'll be racing my #59 car that day hopefully.

Nice job on your design. The Mt. Hood CC track is very rough... Make sure all bolts and screws are tighten down good.

Race report: first race for my car at Hood River, We found a driver that would fit in the car so we were able to race this one. we discovered we had a broken transponder so we got another that turned out to be broken as well, we managed to find a working one though and put in on. The car drove very well and had no problems at all during the race. The course is defiantly a battery killer, our power ran out just as they took out the checkered flag. We placed 8th, a great top 10 result, and the best I have ever had. I think the car will do even beter at Agnes Stewart next week, espescially since its course is not nearly as hard on the batteries as Hood River is.

at Pasco the bottom pan broke twice during the race due to 70 lbs of ballast bolted to it; and it still took 3rd.

Great race at PIR, my car took 1st overall in short track. And thanks Mr. Hodgert, I knew my car would take 1st at one of the races, never thought it would be PIR though.
