Go Greased Lightning!

June 9th, 2009 by Allison George

A tale of your average day at the WCVA?  A few weeks ago, a group of fun visitors stopped by our office looking for local hotel information- but that’s not all there is to this story.  These weren’t your ordinary leisure travelers- they were engineering graduates from the University of Utah and they were here to race an electric car they’d built to compete in an “Electrathon” event.  You won’t believe it by the photo- because they look as fresh as daisies- but they had just pulled an 11 hour overnight road trip after playing a brutal softball game the previous evening in Salt Lake City, Utah!  One of them was also going to be interviewing for a job with a company located in the same building as our WCVA office.

The boys from Salk Lake City, UT. Hope they made it back in one piece!

Hopefully, they will see this blog and update us as to how they did on the race track!   Thanks for stopping in guys!

Why, this car is aerodynamic….

    These boys were precious! We were happy to help them find a hotel, movie theater, and Home Depot. Are you looking for something in the area? Let us know, we’re here to help (and we promise we won’t make you take a picture for the blog!)
