Fun had by all at the Carrier 2011 Fall NYE Invitational

The event was co-sponsored by the Cicero-North Syracuse Racing Team and their advisor Marty Miner. The Brockport HS Team and their advisor Craig Coon took care of registration. Thanks also to all the volunteers that made the event a great success, and the Caz Communications Club for taking video and photos, and providing entertainment all day.
Some New Faces...
Both Oneida and West Genesee cme out for their first electrathon event ever. Both teams really enjoyed themselves, learned alot, and did very well for their first outing. Special thanks also to the team from Livonia HS who did not race, but kept track of laps for all the other teams. They plan on being ready to go for the Watkins Glen race on April 21st, 2012.
Some Old faces...
The two teams from Cazenovia HS, Cicero-North Syracuse HS, and Baldwinsville HS were there as well.All the teams are pretty much brand new, with lots of new team members as well as new drivers. "This gives us a chance to actually practice with more cars on the track before we go to a bigger event like Oswego Speedway or Watkins Glen" says new driver Lee Cudney from the Caz team. A member of the Baldwinsville team said "It was alot of fun, and great practice too."
