The National Road Solar Car Rally
June 3 - 6, 1998
(See pictures from the Road Rally trip in our Photo Album)


The Solar Phantom Team received their first victory in a solar-powered vehicle race by winning over Ohio State University in the first National Road Rally this past summer. The two cars started the four-day, 385-mile trip in Wheeling, West Virginia. The Solar Phantom arrived at Rose-Hulman's campus in Terre Haute, Indiana (the destination of the race) 97 minutes earlier overall than second-place Ohio State. Members of Purdue University's solar car team served as race observers, riding with each car's caravan and helping to assess penalties.
