In fact, I got to go behind the scenes and see the cars torn apart and being put back together again. Most of the vehicles were tiny using bicycle wheels a lightweight materials such as hard foam for structure and seat. Much plastic was also used in some of the designs. It was a very sunny day at the racetrack and the solar cars were faster than I thought they would be. Most of the crowd was high school age, though there were a few older people like myself walking about. I got a chance to go to this event on Saturday and saw some of the fuel cell cars racing.
