Today, not only did we top yesterday, we drove further than any other day, in the history of Covenant Solar Car! We’re still only a few laps out of first place and we know all too well, that’s the difference of one break down. Unfortunately, another team also hit the wall. It was the first time all cars were stopped/motionless on the track that we know of. We pray they're okay and able to get back on the track tomorrow.

We’re making progress! Just need to bleed the brake lines, replace the brake pads in the rear, and swap out our “expired” seat belts.
