Battle Mountain High Prep Story
Noah Davis
EDWARDS — George Jouflas does not tinker — he designs and redesigns.
Take the solar powered remote control car his Battle Mountain High School crew is
building for the Solar Rollers Trophy Race. He’s rebuilding the suspension to work like
a Formula 1 car or Grand Prix racing motorcycle. Then, he created some kind of traction
control.
The team is also doing some amazing things to save weight because it’s battery powered. The
lighter it is, the longer and faster it will run. He isn’t saying how any of this works because
it’s a Solar Roller race, after all, and someone has to win.
“It might as well be us,” he said smiling.
