Team Stealth started in 2004 under the name of 'Wolgarston Wanderer', and the first and last race that the car took part in was at Darley Moor. Unfortunately, it did not qualify for the National Final, but was in for major refurbishment later that year. At the final on 15th October 2006, Stealth completed 117 miles, finishing in 51st place. For the 2007 season, new regulations were brought in by Greenpower. The race was now only four hours long with no battery charging. We had modified bodywork and a new front rollbar on the car for the North-West Heat at Darley Moor, with a new floor and slightly modified nose-cone to enable some of the growing drivers to fit in! We qualified for the 2007 final in 38th place, 11 places better than in 2006. For the final, to make the car more streamlined, and to help cover the front rollbar, we added a new nose-cone. For the first time Team Stealth had a logo for this race: it was printed on the car, and on the team overalls. You can see the logo in the website banner at the top of this page. We completed the 2007 final in a disappointing 55th place: but we realised what the problem was after the race. Some of the battery clips were not on properly, so a lot of power was wasted and the car slowed to a halt in the last hour. We now supply our feeder middle schools, Brewood and Penkridge, with a car for the 'Goblin' series, for Year 5 and 6 students. Wolgarston High School organised a Goblin event on the school tennis courts in July 2006. It was a poor day for the weather but it was a brilliant event. We are hoping to make the event much bigger next year, and would like to attract more cars. Our team consists of all-year 10 students, but this year we are hoping that some year 9 students and current year 8 students who move up to the school will be interested, especially after having some experience in the Goblin car which we supply to our feeder middle schools. |
