We held our STEM Electrathon Event in conjunction with the University of South Florida 2024 Engineering Expo. We thank the University of South Florida for their support again this year.

Teams arrived and got signed in and their cars inspected. The pits were busy with teams making last minute adjustments.

Plant City HS brought out their new car 210.

We thank the parents, family and friends that come out to support the students and teams.

Our Race Steward Mike Frederick met with everyone for the drivers/teams meeting.

At the registration area we encountered a challege between two high school rivals that use to race against one another. It was the Simmons team member, Victoria Hobbs challenging Midleton team member Ryan Norden to a competition between their two children when they are old enough to race against one another. This will be an interesting challenge coming to Electrathon in the future as both parents were/are very competitive.

We had twelve cars line up for the first, one hour competition.

During the race, a few teams had tire issues and had to change them out to get back into the race. Florida State College at Jacksonville car 904 had their rear wheel come apart ending their race day.

Mulberry HS hit the rear of Pro EV, sending Pro EV into a spin out. Both drivers did well and there were no injuries.

Our next STEM Electrathon Event (dash race day) will be held on Saturday March 2nd at Kirkland Ranch Academy of Innovation in Pasco County.

We had a great STEM day at the USF Engineering Expo. The high school teams really shined. We had one car from Kirkland Ranch Academy of Innovation and their trailer, three cars from Middleton and their solar trailer, two cars from Mulberry and two cars from Plant City.

Our teams will be competing on Saturday, February 10th in two one-hour endurance races.

The first race starts at 9am and ends at 10am. The second race starts at 1pm and end at 2pm.

Hope to see everyone for this free, fun filled day of STEM competitions.

On Saturday, January 27th we assisted Florida State College at Jacksonville with their first electrathon race. We thank FSCJ Electrathon Team Sponsor Robert Wechsler, his team, volunteers and FSCJ Administration for inviting us to their event. We arrived early on Saturday to finish with the event set up. As teams arrived and got situated in the pits, the inspection team started the car inspections.

We welcome new team Augusta Prep car 1324 from Georgia.

We welcome new team Fairhope HS car 1 from Alabama.

We welcome new team Electrathon Parts car 654 from Milton Florida

Our drivers meeting went well with the teams, they were informed of track conditions, broke down car procedures and instructed on the race flags.

We had 10 cars line up for our first 1-hour competition.

Dr. Doug Brauer Dean of Industry and Engineering at FSCJ dropped the green flag, starting the race.

As the teams went into turn one, Fairhope car 1 had a steering issue that caused them to leave the track and into the grass sidelines (driver did well and there were no injuries). The teams worked out little car issues during the race.
