Electrathon Racing Team Final Race Results

Test Equipment Connection Co. would like to congratulate the ‘Silver Bullet Racing Team’ on their outstanding performance in the final race of 2011-2012 Season.

Jim Robinson Sr. and Ralph Foss (subbing in for team regular Jim Robinson Jr.) competed this past weekend at the annual ‘Run for the Peaches‘ in Quitman, Georgia.  The Race was “Tight” according to team captain Robins Sr. “a tooth and nail battle”.  “The real competition is between the ‘Standard’ class (24 volt) cars” said Robinson, speaking of the classification to which both the Test Equipment Connection cars belong. As Electrathon races are calculated by distance (the distance each car can go in one hour on a full battery), the charge capacity and efficiency of each vehicle’s battery is vitally important.  After the results of the two races were calculated, the ‘Silver Bullet’ team claimed both 2^nd (Foss) and 3^rd (Robinson Sr.) place, marking a great end to a great season.

When they aren’t on the Race track, the Robinson team also runs the Robinson & Son Garage where they build custom cars for other clients. “Our next race is scheduled for mid-September”, said Robinson Sr., “If anyone would like to join us on the track, now is a good time to order a car!” In addition to building cars for other racers, Robinson & Son’s also plans to finish construction on their prototype “steamliner” model they hope to debut next season.

Announcing Sponsorship of Electrathon Racing Team

Test Equipment Connection Co. is proud to announce our Sponsorship of the ‘Silver Bullet Racing’ Electrathon Racing Team!

What is Electrathon Racing?

An Electrathon is a light weight 3-4 wheeled battery powered vehicle, not unlike a hybrid between a box-car racer and a go-cart. Throughout the three decades since its invention, Electrathon racing has spread throughout the western world, gaining popularity with high-school and post-secondary youth due to its low entry cost, and the practical application of moderate-advanced engineering concepts. Electrathon Teams participate in races that are not measured by time, but distance; traditionally the distance that can be covered in one hour. Thus each Electrathon Vehicle is built for efficiency, stressing balancing aerodynamics and effective use of battery power over top-speed.  The pursuit of this intriguing mechanical problem is the perfect platform for Test Equipment to promote given the complex engineering challenges at play. We’d like to wish Jim Robinson and the rest of the Silver Bullet Racing team the best of luck as they compete in the Tampa Bay Electrathon Racing League!

And don’t forget if you need battery testers whether for your Electrathon or for other purposes, Test Equipment Connection offers a wide variety of battery testers for most any application: http://www.testequipmentconnection.com/categories/Testers/Battery
