S55

(Austin paints the real wheel.)

(Wade works on the front brakes.)

S55- The Raymond Central Power Drive Team has been hard at work creating the new S55. They made a new frame from scratch. They had to bend the pipes and weld them together to make the new frame. They have done it all from the frame to painting the rims. A lot of hard work and time has gone into making this car.
This will be a new beginning for the car. The old S55 that was driven by Dylon Marshalek placed 2nd in the KAN-AM at the KC Speedway.

A57- The Raymond Central Power Drive Team has been hard at work doing body work and repairs on the A57. They have been fixing cracks on the body and have made a new canopy for the car. They have also made changes to the car so that the driver has more room in the car.

This year is the second year for A57. The car placed 1st in the KAN-AM at the KC Speedway. The car was driven by Darrin Pecka.

Raymond Central Places 1st and 2nd in KAN-AM

Electric car racing is something new to KC Speedway. The first race was run in 2008, canceled in 2009, and was conducted again this year on October 11.  It was a rainy day, however, the rain subsided at 12:30 p.m. and the race was run. Races are one hour and you must see how many laps you can make on the 1.5-mile tri-oval track.  The two cars from Raymond Central placed first and second in the experimental car division by using solar energy boards on their cars. The first place car was driven by Darrin Pecka in car A57 with Dylon Marshalek in S55 came in second.  As of now Raymond Central is already planning on building a new lighter and faster race car for next year.
