Our 2005 Sunchase Model Vehicle Challenge was the best yet!  The weather was great, the venue was great, the participation and organization was great.  Let's face it, nothing went wrong and fun was had by all!   In 2005 we held the event on 31 August for the 'under-$60' mini-challenge kit cars in which a number of schools had a larger number of students (100-150 students) who competed heavily amongst eachother.  Then on 1 September was the bigger event with the model solar boats and 'big-rig' model solar cars.  Teams competed based on car performance, poster, interview, team uniform, best decorated egg, and overall score!  The 80 meter figure-8 track that was built last year is world class (better than the national track) and the venue, on the Youth Centre Hockey court next to Anzac Hill, couldn't be beat.  It is easily accessible with just the right size to fit everyone and the event.  And better yet, we were central to everyone!   Be sure to check out our picture gallery above to see some of the fun we experienced and then check the results out below.  Much thanks go out to the sponsors, the volunteers, and most importantly the participants.  It was a positive, exciting learning experience for us all.  We can only hope that the excitement will bleed over into next year's competition with even more students!
