"Both Gasoline and Ethanol EcoIllini prototype cars got out onto the track several times throughout the day and EcoConcepts car got through all tech inspections and will race tomorrow," faculty advisor Michael Philpott said Saturday night. "Usual slew of technical challenges that go with this event…but our teams worked really well to fix them quickly and get back on the road. Looking forward to, and hoping for some trouble free runs tomorrow, now that the cars have run in."
