Upcoming Races

Then Power Drive is kicking it in gear and getting ready for the upcoming race in Kansas City held October 11th at the Kansas City Motor Speedway. This will be the team's first time ever at this Electrical Challenge. Mr. Smith hopes to do very well in the team's first appearance. The team is also competing October 2nd in The Wayne Fall Rally at Wayne State College, which the team has won the race three out of six appearances.  The Bancroft-Rosalie Power Drive team has a big following including Jon Cerney, Ronda Ras, and Clark Petersen but many people have never attended a race. The race is sixty minutes long and the cars go around the track as many times as possible.  You also switch drivers in the middle of the race in between the 20-40 minute mark. Please come support the Bancroft-Rosalie Power Drive team October 2nd at Wayne State College for the team's first race of the season.
