The 2004 Electric Car Race


2004 Electric Car Race Results

Speed, Maneuverability and Endurance trials were held on the 1/4 mile track at Cooper High School on May 22, 2004
  • Merit Awards: Each team appoints one student to be on the Merit Award Committee. The students on this committee select an award to give to each car as a certificate that is presented to the team.
  • Drag Race: 2 heats of 4 cars run a side-by-side yard race followed by a final race for the 4 fastest cars.
  • Slalom Race: each car is timed as it zig-zags through cones that are 10 yards apart, makes a U-turn at the end, and zig-zags back to the start.
  • Endurance Race: teams try to complete the most laps in 45 minutes around the 1/4 mile track, pulling into the pits and changing drivers on each lap.


Here are the Race Day results. 8 cars were in the races.
