The University of Michigan Solar Car Team stopped here in Rolla this afternoon while observing a one hour control stop for their mock race.  Our team received the opportunity to see their car, Infinium, and chat with their members about their car and the ongoing preparations for the 2010 American Solar Challenge.

Unfortunately, due to yesterday's crash, we were unable to show Solar Miner VII because it has been disassembled for damage assessment and repairs.

Hitting The Road
On Wednesday we took the car for the first real road test. We drove a 20 minute loop around Rolla on Old St. James Road. We had no problems with the car and we are satisfied with the performance of Solar Miner VII.

Licking Run
After hitting the road with Solar Miner VII we will do several practice runs to Licking, MO on thursday. The 35 mile route has served the team as practice route for more than 10 years. We expect to have every driver to drive at least one full trip.
