One lesson the Appalachian State team learned was how loud a loose piece of tape could get, according to driver Aaron Green. Green said while this competition keeps the speeds regulated, the App State car hit 80 during a test at an airport in Tennessee. The solar car challenge also stopped at Homestead in August 2016.
