Well, the American Solar Challenge is finally here! First teams to arrive in Hastings, Nebraska were 2 Michigan, 6 CalSol, 15 Western Sydney (Australia), 101 ETS (Canada), 559 Onda Solare (Italy), and 828 AppState:
55 Esteban (Canada) also arrived and posted a nice picture of how they collect sun (the original picture allows panning):
I will update my race information page and teams list with all news that comes in. The scrutineering phase of the event begins with a team meeting at 10:00 Friday morning (Nebraska time).
The NPS National Trails Intermountain Region has also announced an #AmericanSolarPhotoChallenge, which looks like fun.
