K-STATE SOLAR 1xbet sports betting TO BE ON DISPLAY AT KANSAS SPEEDWAY

MANHATTAN -- The football 1xbet sports betting won't be the only Kansas State University attraction in Kansas City this weekend.

Members of K-State's solar 1xbet sports betting team will be displaying their 1xbet sports betting , Paragon, at the Kansas Speedway Friday, Oct. 2.

The K-State solar 1xbet sports betting team has been building and racing solar cars since 1995. Paragon was built by the team in 2005 for the North American Solar Challenge. Members of the team are primarily K-State students in electrical and mechanical engineering, but all disciplines are welcome on the team, according to Ray Scheufler, a three-year solar 1xbet sports betting team member and a junior in computer engineering from Sterling.

1xbet sports betting said the cars, which take about two years to design and build, are built for cross-country endurance races rather than racing at tracks like the Kansas Speedway.

"A solar 1xbet sports betting is a very performance-built, aerodynamic, lightweight 1xbet sports betting designed with efficiency in mind," Scheufler said. "Solar 1xbet sports betting teams use composite materials like Kevlar and carbon fiber because they are lighter and stronger than most metals."

"Some modifications have been made to the 1xbet sports betting since 2005," said Ruth Miller, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering at K-State and adviser to the solar 1xbet sports betting team. "The most significant is the battery box design, which has been supervised by Ray Scheufler."

It will be the first time the K-State team has shown the solar 1xbet sports betting at a NASCAR event, and Miller and Scheufler agree it will be a great opportunity for solar 1xbet sports betting team members to gather ideas for the design and construction of a new 1xbet sports betting from NASCAR professionals.

"It will be interesting to see how NASCAR people will view the 1xbet sports betting and what their opinions will be on how we should improve it," Scheufler said. "The solar 1xbet sports betting showings also are a chance for K-State's College of Engineering to show people what it can do. The solar 1xbet sports betting team is a very high profile design team in the college. Our showings allow the public to see that we are getting a practical education at and can build something."
