Sunrayce 93
Arlington, Texas to Minneapolis, Minn.
June, 1993
Winning awards for technical performance and teamwork, Rose-Hulman
Institute of Technology came back with an improved solar-powered car
for Sunrayce 93, a seven-day, 1,100-mile race from Arlington, Texas,
to Minneapolis, Minn. With a new motor system, solar array and
electrical system, the Solar Phantom II finished 15th out of 34
college teams. Most importantly, the car failed to suffer a
substantial mechanical or electrical breakdown during the
competition. "We had a good, dependable car," said Team
Leader Dylan Schickel. The team's woes were caused by Mother Nature:
Clouds and rain covered four days of the race route, causing some
Sunrayce participants to call the race "Rainrayce 93."
During sunny days, the Solar Phantom II ran with the lead pack,
finishing 11th on Day 7, a 161-mile trek from Des Moines, Iowa, to
Albert Lee, Minn. "The students should be proud of their
efforts, considering the obstacles they faced," said
Rose-Hulman President Samuel Hulbert, who waved the checked flag as
the team crossed the finish line in Minneapolis. "They showed
great determination and learned invaluable educational lessons in
the process." A highlight of the year came in May, 1993, when
the Solar Phantom II made a ceremonial lap around the famed
Indianapolis Motor Speedway prior to the Indianapolis 500. Ed Stacy
was the driver for the historic event. Other drivers during Sunrayce
were David Bailey, Jeff Kwok and Jonathan Rich. Ron White was the
mechanical engineering systems coordinator, while Eric Wandell was
the team's chief financial officer.
