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.

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.
