Starting Up

Kankakee Valley is starting their car that will compete in the I.M.S.T.E.A. Super Mileage Competition. This competition challenges high school students to design and build a car that will get as many miles per gallon as possible. Not only are they challenged on making the car work, but they have to figure the math that is involved in making it work.
So far we have created the main design and begun collecting money in order to start fabrication. This year we have high expectations. KV's highest mpg rating was 470.88. Our goal this year is 750 mpg. Last year the winner of the competition had over 1000 mpg!
Through out our design and building process we will be posting blogs to keep the public and our sponsors up to date. Thanks for all of your support.


Here are few pictures of past cars. However, we are planning on a totally different design this year.
