THE BEGINNING
Founded in the fall of 2017, Cougar Strong Racing is the GreenpowerUSA F24 Racing Team at Long Cane Middle School in LaGrange, Georgia. During our first season we built our first Formula 24 race car and competed twice. At our first race, the Chambers County Grand Prix, we finished 2nd overall. Our second race was the season finale Grissom Grand Prix May 5, 2018. We finished 1st in the endurance race and 2nd overall out of 28 middle school teams. Although we only competed in 2 of 4 events for the 2017-2018 season we finished 8th nationally among middle schools. We were very proud of the results for our inaugural season and set very ambitious goals for year 2.
SEASON 2
For the 2018-2019 season we added a second team of students and a second Formula 24 race car, intent on making a run for the season points title! Our two teams competed in 7 races, We also hosted the first-ever GreenpowerUSA race in the state of Georgia - the Diverse Power Grand Prix at LaGrange College on February 28, 2019. We won the top 2 spots at several races across the season, with our new #999 team winning the National Championship, and our #000 team winning 2nd in the nation among middle school teams.
SEASON 3
We are now in our 3rd season with half of both teams being brand new. Our goals haven't changed...we are focusing on continuous improvement as we continue our winning tradition. This year we have committed to 9 races for the season - four of which are semi-local and five of which will be held in Huntsville, AL. We will have to wait and see if we can come out on top again, but one thing is certain - it will be exciting and fun!
We would love to have you follow our journey on social media as updates will be posted often!
