How about a car that get's 300 miles per gallon? Fortunately, it's been made and driven - and crashed at the Indy 500. Unfortunately it's not for sale. The car, named Minddrive, is the brainchild of local Kansas City architect and visionary Steve Rees. With his guidance, team of mentors, leadership and students of DeLaSalle High School, the former race car was transformed into a transparent body electric car that has been featured in AutoWeek. Minddrive was invited to be part of Emerging Tech Day at the Indy 500 and went to the Texas Proving Ground track, thanks to Bridgestone Tires. The car is amazing but so are its builders. The students live in the urban core and may have been bounced around from school to school. Some are at risk and others are trying to find a niche, graduate, and then get a decent job. Thank you to Steve Rees, Linda Buchner, and Tom Strongman for creating the inspiring Minddrive non-profit organization that gives students a chance to succeed.
