We've often said that we'll watch 'em race anything, and this proves that it's true. On June 26, the annual American Solar Challenge car racers took the checkered flag at one of the high schools here in Naperville. We walked down to the school with cameras in hand and staked out a shady spot to watch the competitors cross the finish line. It was refreshing to see a bunch of enthusiastic college students who were having a good time and were very proud of their efforts.
After the race, the kids exposed the innards of the cars and explained how any way they worked. They answered plenty of questions, many of which must have seemed ridiculous to them. For a complete list of results and more information, check out http://www.americansolarchallenge.org/.
