We are in Las Vegas, NM! Our day began with a solar car drive to Trinidad. We then trailered over the Raton Pass. Race officials highly encouraged this trailering, and even required it for a sub-section. Tomorrow we will resume racing! This time to Santa Fe and back☀️

Goodbye Kansas! Hello Colorado! We passed through La Junta today, and are on our way towards Trinidad. We ended with very low SOC, but managed over 200 miles today!

We got out of Dodge! We ran into a few issues along the way, including a strong headwind and cloud cover, but made it past the Dodge City checkpoint. We are now charging during the evening and will be continuing onto La Junta tomorrow!

We made it to McPherson! CalSol capped off a great day of racing by completing a challenge loop with a mere minute to spare. With this extra distance in hand we are in a great position for the coming legs. Excited to set out tomorrow!

CalSol set off on ASC today and sailed through the checkpoint at Council Grove, Kansas. Zephyr has ran well today, with only a small MPPT related roadside diversion to slow us down. Onto McPherson!☀️

Day 3 of FSGP begins! Staring 3rd on the grid as many teams needed to do additional solar charging. Our primary goal is to qualify Zephyr for ASC, which means we just need another 50 laps today. ☀️

Day 2 of FSGP✅ Today was a major success, as we finished qualifying all drivers for ASC and completed 74 laps! All that’s left to qualify for ASC is doing 50 laps tomorrow! Our evening charge was interrupted by a bit of rain, but this won’t Zephyr from cruising tomorrow☀️
