CHS Solar Car Racing Team representatives joined Mr. Yakubovsky at the Keller Williams offices on Sandy Lake Rd in Coppell today. Keller Williams sponsors an annual Coppell Car Show at the Old Town Coppell Square to directly support the team. September 10th was the third year of the Car Show, giving the students an opportunity to showcase their work on the Solar Car team as well as local participants to show off their cars, new and old. The staff at Keller Williams, together with local sponsors, raised $2700 for the team! A check was presented to team President, MacKenzie, and Vice President, Ethan, at the meeting today. Many thanks to all whom participated in the event and supporting the Solar Car team! The CHS Solar Car Racing Team is currently working on the construction of two cars, Outlaw I and Outlaw II, for the upcoming Solar Car Challenge to be held at the Texas Motor Speedway in the summer of 2017.
