Solar 300
Phoenix International Raceway, Arizona
April 1991

Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology's Solar Phantom showed it could race with the world's best cars when it finished a strong fifth (out of nine teams) in the inaugural Solar 300 race, an event conducted at the Phoenix International Raceway in Arizona. Registering laps in excess of 47 mph, the car ran alongside the professional Spirit of Biel, winner of the World Solar Challenge, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. "We showed that we can compete with some of the best teams in the world," said Jeff Pahl, Rose-Hulman's chief of engineering. "The car is still a great educational experience. The racing is fun. I'm going to miss the competition and the opportunity to talk with engineering students from MIT, Arizona State and Western Michigan. Our purpose is to learn and we're continuing to do that." Chris Kaus was team leader of the 1990 team, while Dylan Schickel served as finance director. Drivers included Chris Kabrick, David Bailey and Jeff Kwok.
