The SIUE Solar Racing Team is a student-led organization at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville that designs, builds, tests, and races solar-powered vehicles.
History
[edit]The Team was formed in 2004 after Carl Painter, a retired engineering instructor from Lincoln Land Community College approached the school. Painter convinced LLCC to donated it's car to help SIUE start a new team. The car named Prominence previously raced in 1997 and 1999 before being donating to SIUE. Painter helped the team raise money and get sponsors even after being diagnosed with cancer and undergoing chemotherapy. He passed away before SIUE was able to race the new car he had helped build.
