March Report

 

The Power Drive Team has made much progress on our new Power Drive car this month. The Power Drive team has finished setting up the steering system to insure excellent steering performance and all of the wiring is in tact. They have also completed the body straps, axle and the seat belts.  They have mounted the brakes, adjusted the seat and built the wheel cover. With so much progress in such a short amount of time the new Power Drive car will be done in no time. The documentation is still being worked on by the documentation team and is coming along very smoothly. With the new car and documentation being made each person is busy with their own duties in order to get everything done on time. The team will be ready to race on April 6^th in Lincoln!!!

February Update

Much progress has been made this month on all three Power Drive cars. On The A20 car Carsten has installed the taillight and has the car ready for paint. On the S31 car Easton, Carsten, and Mr. Smith welded the chassis together. Easton is now working on the steering for the S31 car, while Carsten is working on the canopy to cover the driver. Derek and Ian are building brackets to hold the rear canopy, batteries, and seat belts in place. Dylan is in the process of taping construction paper together to get the right shape for the rear canopy for the new S31 car. Easton made a checklist saying what has to be done to make the new S31 race ready. The E-21 car is stood upright and Morgan and Taylor are working on aligning the front wheels. As you can see, everyone in the shop has been very busy trying to perfect all three cars to be race ready for April. Hope to see you all at the first Power Drive race on April 6^th! 

 

  
The Bancroft-Rosalie Power Drive team is working on their new car yet again. This month they are making progress on the chassis. They have finished mounting the rear wheel, seat, and made sure the drivers fit perfectly in the car. The car that is being worked on will be entered as a Standard class car. There is much anticipation coming from Power Drive Team for the upcoming Power Drive Season! They all can’t wait to get back on the track! The next progress update on the car will be in February.

Progress on the car!

The Powerdrive team has been working very hard on their Powerdrive car this week. Last week they finished mounting the back tire onto the car.  They are now fabricating the mounts to the front axel. They are putting the seat in place and working on the motor mount. They are also placing all the supporting bars in the chassis. With progress going the way it’s been going the last couple of weeks this car could be done earlier than expected. The Powerdrive team can’t wait to start racing the car again!

Chassis in the making!

The B-R Powerdrive team has been working hard on getting the car’s chassis built. They are working on getting it to the right dimensions to be able to race for specific drivers. The B-R Powerdrive team has been using many different types of precision tools one of which being a laser and the other a digital protractor to line up the tire for the back perfectly. The back tire has been mounted onto the chassis. The roll bar has been welded on and in the next couple of weeks we will see the car come to life. Making it that much closer to getting it on the track.
