In a previous post, I mentioned American university students Kyle Samluk, Will Jones, and Danny Ezzo, who are intending to take a home-made, crowd-funded solar car on the Cannonball Run from New York to Los Angeles, leaving their home in Michigan on 22 June. They, and their car Pink Skies, are being farewelled with ice cream, apparently. Kyle’s favourite solar car team is Agoria, so Belgian beer might have been more appropriate, but I guess that U.S. drinking laws rule that out.
You can follow their progress on their website and on Instagram or Facebook. Good luck, guys!
