The Frank Family Racing Team from the Great State of Texas was driven by Caitlin Frank, whose father, Kevin,
is the genius behind this entry. Their racer featured special wheels with ultra-low rolling resistance, plus a well engineered
car. Kevin's expectation was that the car would be the fastest out of the starting gate but because of the wide wheels with
poor aero, they might be passed by other cars before the finish line. The team added some fairings to better streamline
their radically designed 'step axles' and Caitlin's experience as a driver was definitely a bonus for the team.
Kevin's epectations were right on: they placed highly but did not win 1st place.
