I've mentioned it before, and probably posted a photo somewhere, but I was involved in the PGE electrathon races back in the day. We built a reverse trike and performed mid-pack on our first year competing. Our battery knowledge was severely lacking, which I suspect was the area most ripe for getting an edge with the competition. The year after I graduated high school, the shop teacher who had been helping us created an official class to build and compete in the races... until PGE ended them.
