EV Challenge Results





Swapping out the motor in the MR2


Trophies out the wazoo! Topsail High Electric vehicle has just returned from the North Carolina EV Challenge competition. We took home overall 1st place in the Truck/Car class, 1st in the STEM cycle class, and 3rd in the Modified class, along with 1st place trophies for 9 different individual events. Though we faced a multitude of unexpected issues, the intelligence and work ethic of our students, along with the generosity of others attending the event, allowed us to overcome many of these issues. In particular, Northampton High School loaned us an electric motor for the MR2 after ours suffered a catastrophic failure during the acceleration run. Now we are working on cleanup, a few minor repairs, and fundraising for next year. Stay tuned for info on those in the coming weeks!

  2. While automatic car washes have their advantages, you’re still going to have to think about the interior of your car. Are you going to do the vacuuming? Do you need the seats cleaned and your car otherwise detailed? That’s why many people end up taking their vehicles to these types of businesses. They need the interior detailed, and they decide to opt for having the exterior of the car washed there, too.

  3. Okay, so today’s blog topic has nothing to do with weight loss. I have a confession to make. My car is a mess. I usually do a little cleaning every week or two (as I am doing this morning), but I only do a basic cleaning – like get the windows cleaned, vacum a little bit, shine the mirrors, change the oil, etc. I don’t do the deep cleaning like change the oil filter, spark plugs, etc. Not having the will to do a proper cleaning is what will prevent me from losing all of my weight. The truth is, the car is probably about as clean as it’s going to get.
