How did the race go? It looks like you started off well. How many racers and about how many miles did the winner (you?) travel in the hour? Looks like a fun and challenging race.
The race was fun but I lost a tire the first race and threw a chain the second race. The University of South Florida Advanced Battery team won the first race with 22.06 miles. Then we ran the track the other direction and Tiger Racing running lead acid won.
So you guys have the advanced battery class race with the standard lead acid? Isn't that a huge weight advantage for the advanced class since their batteries weigh 50/60 pounds less?
In the NW we have the following:
Student and open classes and each have had standard and advance battery class when advanced classes show up. So this is 4 classes. We seldom have advanced batteries show up so mostly just lead acid. We also have had a couple of Solar class over the 24 years I've doing this. If we had more we would have 6 separate classes the compete within each class but not across the group.
