ISU solar car coming to North Middle
Posted: Tuesday, May 01, 2007
Iowa State University's solar car team will be in Siouxland May 8.
Team PrISUm will be showing its solar race car to students at North Middle School in Sioux City at 1:30 p.m. and to the Plymouth County Extension in Le Mars at 4 p.m.
It is part of a five-day SunRun around the state to talk up the value of renewable energy and the fun of innovation. Team members will answer questions about how the car was designed, built and raced by Iowa State students.
Racing long and low and sporting purple and blue racing flames on its aerodynamic wheel covers, the car competed in the 2005 North American Solar Challenge. It raced the 2,494.9 miles from Austin, Texas, to Calgary, Alta., Canada, in 71.5 hours. That was good enough for third place in the challenge's stock class.
